History of Leicester
Known to be one of the oldest cities in the UK, Leicester is thought to have originated back in the 1st or 2nd century BC. The Romans settled in the area in AD 47, and very little is known about the area’s history immediately after they withdrew from Britain. However, in medieval times, a few notable events took place in the city as it started to become more populated.
It was the industrial era which began in the 1800’s which really transformed the area. Factories were constructed, particularly along the banks of the canal. The population also boomed from 1861 to 1901, going from 68,100 to 211,600.
Today, the cathedral city is well known for its diverse economy. It is an excellent place to do business with excellent transportation links and a vast range of sectors.
