A city in the eastern part of the Greater Manchester region in north-central England, England. It is part of the Oldham district. It is located about 10km northeast of Manchester, at the western foot of the Pennines. Until the beginning of the 17th century, it was an agricultural settlement producing wool, but in 1630 the linen industry was introduced, and after Richard Arkwright invented the spinning machine, the cotton spinning industry developed, partly due to the suitable climate, and it became one of the leading cotton manufacturing cities in England. Today, a wide variety of industries are carried out there, from automobiles to electronic devices. The area of the district is 141 ^km2 . The district population is 218,300 (2004 estimate).
