A city in the central part of West Yorkshire, in the north-central part of England. It is part of the Bradford district, including the surrounding area. It is located about 15km west of Leeds, in a valley at the eastern foot of the Pennines, and the town area spreads over the surrounding hills. It flourished as a market town in the 13th century. In the 14th century, the woolen textile industry emerged and developed, but from the late 17th century to the early 18th century, the production of worsted textiles became more popular, replacing the woolen textiles that had been used until then, and later, the production of alpaca, mohair, silk, velvet, etc. also began. It became an important wool purchasing centre, and overseas trade was also active. In the second half of the 20th century, the textile industry declined, and industries such as engineering, papermaking, and printing developed. There are many Victorian-era buildings, such as the town hall and the wool exchange. Bradford University is located here. The area of the district is 366 km2 . The district population is 493,100 (estimated 2006). Urban population: 293,717 (2001). Bradford |
