Historics.
- The name 'Sussex' derives from the Kingdom of Sussex, founded
by Ælle of Sussex in 477AD, which in 825 was absorbed into the
kingdom of Wessex and the later kingdom of England. The region's
roots go back further to the location of some of Europe's earliest
hominid finds at Boxgrove. Sussex has been a key location for
England's major invasions, including the Roman invasion of Britain
and the Battle of Hastings.
The appellation Sussex remained in use as a ceremonial county
until 1974, when the Lord-Lieutenant of Sussex was replaced with
one each for East and West Sussex. The whole of Sussex has had a
single police force since 1968.
