What is Manchester in Latin?
Manchester. During the Roman occupation of Britain, Manchester was called Mamucium by the Romans. The "chester" suffix, as with many towns occupied by the Romans, derives from the Latin "castra" meaning a camp or settlement.
Why was Manchester built?
It started with the Roman fort of Mamucium, which was established approximately 79AD on a small hill near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. The textile manufacturing boom during the industrial revolution caused a huge boom in the growth of Manchester. It has the perfect climate for textiles and especially cotton. It is claimed by most historians to be the world's first industrialized city. The building of the Bridgewater Canal in 1761 built to transport coal triggered a huge factory building program which transformed Manchester into a major town. It was granted city status in 1853. In 1894 the Manchester Ship canal was built which linked it to the sea and created more growth. There is more information at the related link.

Is there a river tib in Manchester?
Yes, although it is now completely culverted. It runs down Tib Street and then across the city centre under the town hall extension, the main library and the dining room of the Midland Hotel down towards Deansgate station where it joins the Medlock. Supposedly named by homesick Romans after the Tiber it was meant to originally mark the boundary of the Roman settlement of Mamucium. There's a hole in the wall of Tib Street Florists through which you can supposedly still feel the flow of the river.
