The History of Preston

The Rich History of Preston

Preston, a vibrant city in Lancashire, boasts a rich history dating back to Roman times. Its strategic location on the River Ribble made it an important center during the Industrial Revolution. In 1179, Preston was granted its first charter by King Henry II, marking its importance as a market town.

Over the centuries, Preston has witnessed significant events, from the Battle of Preston during the English Civil War to the establishment of the Preston Guild, a unique civic celebration held every 20 years. Today, Preston is a bustling city that beautifully blends its historical heritage with modern development.
