Lancashire (/ˈlæŋkəʃər/ LAN-kə-shər, /-ʃɪər/ -sheer; abbreviated Lancs) is a non-metropolitan, ceremonial, and historic county in North West England. The boundaries of these three areas differ significantly. The county town is Lancaster. Lancashire was founded in the 12th century; in the Domesday Book of 1086 much of what would become the county is treated as part of Yorkshire and Cheshire. The county became a major commercial and industrial region during the Industrial Revolution, with Liverpool emerging as a major port and Manchester and its surrounding towns dominating the manufacture of cotton. By 1971 Lancashire had a population of 5,118,405, which made it the most heavily populated county in the United Kingdom after Greater London. More information...
