York was established as Eboracum about 71 AD by the occupying Roman army as a fort. The local language was never recorded but the likely Celtic name that it reverted to after the Romans headed home may have meant something like "place if the yew trees. In 844 it had another name change under the Danes which lasted until the Norman Conquest. Archeologists contend that the area had been occupied as early as 8,000 years earlier but we will have to settle on the much later date as its founding.
