A brief history of Warrington
Warrington first got its name as 'Walintune’. Warring was known as the largest town in Cheshire and is located 20 miles east of Liverpool. Like many other towns and cities across the United Kingdom, Romans founded Warrington in the period AD79. The Romans built a settlement at Wilderspool, an important crossing place on the River Mersey, which was then to be known as Warrington. After the Romans left Britain, similar to other towns across Britain, Warrington's establishment was taken over by Anglo-Saxons, where the name Walintune came from. From being only a small village, Warrington grew into a small market town, and its significance within the country also increased.
During the civil war in 1642, Warrington became strategically important because of its bridge. The first newspaper in Warrington was printed in 1756. During the Georgian era, Warrington was for its sacking and canvas industry which created an extensive sailcloth market. Other than this, other industries such as making pins also grew. Creating locks, cast iron, and hinges was also increasing throughout Warrington's market town, enabling Warrington to bring in more trade and export their products to towns and cities across England. All these new industries assisted in the employment of many people within the town. During the 19th century, Warrington grew extensively. There were now railways, police commissioners, and oil lamps were introduced within the town.
In the 20th century, Warrington, like other towns, underwent 'de-industrialization'. Instead, industries such as retail, education, and local government proliferated. These were some of the few steps of growth within Warrington.
