Lancaster became a city in 1937 when it was granted city status by royal charter. Originally established as a market town in the 12th century, it grew due to its strategic location along the River Lune and its role in the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. The growth in population and economic development contributed to its elevation to city status. Lancaster is also known for its historical significance, including its connections to the Lancashire witch trials and the English Civil War.
