The Romans settled in Chester around AD 79 when they established a fort known as Deva Victrix. This location was strategically chosen due to its proximity to the River Dee and its importance in controlling the surrounding region. Chester later developed into a significant Roman town, serving as a military base and a center for trade and administration in the area. The remnants of Roman influence can still be seen in Chester's architecture and layout today.
