A brief history of DartmouthA brief history of Dartmouth

Man has used the River Dart for many years; during the old ages, the River Dart was operated as a powering plant and a way to transport goods through the town. The town was home to the Celts and Saxons who settled in Dartmouth around the Riverside to prevent incoming threats from the Vikings. The city is home to the Famous Thomas Newcomen, who invented the first operating steam engine, which pumped water out of mines; you can discover his work at Dartmouth’s information centre.  During the Tudor times, Dartmouth started gradually advancing. The construction of ports and trading companies began, which are still in the area today, including the butter walk on Duke street. 

Dartmouth is well known for its training of young naval offices; training took part on boats on the Riverbed. In 1905 the renowned Britannia Royal Navy college opened, designed by an Edwardian planner. Today, it is still a remarkable college known for its rich history in Naval training. Dartmouth is home to Dartmouth castle, which was built to protect the town from attacks by the French during the first world war, the court had a gun tower strengthening it, and it also was used in the second world war as a military fort.
