Nottingham is a city in the county of Nottinghamshire, in the East Midlands region of England. The city lies on the River Trent, and has a population of 270,300 (2001 census).
Nottingham was originally founded as a Saxon settlement, but was captured by the Danes in the 9th century, and became on the five boroughs of the Danelaw. Nottingham was once known as Tigguo Cobauc ('House of Caves') due to the history of man-caves in the settlement. Later, the town became Snottingham (meaning 'Snot's People, named after a local chief), though the S was dropped over time.
In the 11th century, a castle was built in the town, on an outcrop overlooing the river. Nottingham has expanded around the castle, with Market Square being an important part of the development. The English Civil War began in Nottingham in 1642, when King Charles I raised his standard upon Nottingham Castle. The castle was demolished by the victorious Parliamentarians in 1651. The Castle Mansion was built on the site, only to be gutted by the Reform Riots of 1831. The mansion was subsequently restored and was re-opened by the local council as England's first art gallery outside of London.
During the 19th century, Nottingham became famous for its lace production, which is continued today albeit on a much smaller scale. It was in 1897 that Nottingham was granted city status as a part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The town has a diverse ethnic mix, and as a university town has an excellent range of nightlife, including clubs, bars and restaurants. Nottingham is home to a number of companies, including Boots Chemists and Raleigh Cycles (though this closed in 2003). Other employers include Capital One, Powergen and the University. The town has changed in recent years, with a shift to more service orientated industries.
The railway station in Nottingham sees services operated by Midland Mainline to London St Pancras and Central Trains, to destinations including Leicester, Lincoln, Cardiff (via Birmingham), Norwich, Worksop, Mansfield, Liverpool (via Manchester) and Skegness.
