About Leicester.
Leicester is a city and unitary authority area in the East Midlands
area of England. It is also the county town of Leicestershire. The
city lies on the River Soar and at the edge of the National Forest.
In 2006, the population of the Leicester unitary authority was
estimated at 289,700, the largest in the East Midlands, whilst
441,213 people lived in the wider Leicester Urban Area. Eurostat's
Larger Urban Zone listed the population of the area at 772,400
people as of 2004. Leicester is the 10th most populous settlement in
the United Kingdom using the 2001 census definitions and the urban
area is the fifteenth largest conurbation in the UK, the second
largest in the region behind the Nottingham Urban Area.
Ancient Roman pavements and baths remain in Leicester from its early
settlement as Ratae Corieltauvorum, a Roman military outpost in a
region inhabited by the Celtic Corieltauvi tribe. Following the
demise of Roman society the early medieval Ratae Corieltauvorum is
shrouded in obscurity, but when the settlement was captured by the
Danes it became one of five fortified towns important to the Danelaw.
The name "Leicester" is thought to derive from the words castra of
the "Ligore", meaning a camp on the River Legro, an early name for
the River Soar[citation needed]. Leicester appears in the Domesday
Book as "Ledecestre". Leicester continued to grow throughout the
Early Modern period as a market town, although it was the Industrial
Revolution that facilitated an unparalleled process of unplanned
urbanisation in the area.
A newly constructed rail and canal network routed through the area
stimulated industrial growth in the 19th century, and Leicester
became a major economic centre with a variety of manufacturers
engaged in engineering, shoemaking and hosiery production. The
economic success of these industries, and businesses ancillary to
them resulted in significant urban expansion into the surrounding
countryside. The boundaries of Leicester were extended throughout
the 19th and 20th centuries, becoming a county borough in 1889, and
granted city status in 1919.
Today, Leicester is located on the Midland Main Line and close to
the M1 motorway. The city has a large ethnic minority population,
particularly of South Asian origin, a product of immigration to the
United Kingdom since the Second World War. To cater for the South
Asian community, there are many Hindu, Sikh and Muslim places of
worship and the Melton Road district serves as a focus, containing
large numbers of Asian restaurants and other small businesses.
Leicester is a centre for higher education, with both Leicester
University and De Montfort University being based in the city.
