Exeter

Japanese: エクセター（英語表記）Exeter

It is the capital of Devon County in southwest England, England. It is part of the Exeter district. It is located about 60 km northeast of Plymouth, about 16 km upstream from the mouth of the River Exe, which flows into the English Channel. It was the center of the Dumnoni people, the indigenous people of England, but was occupied by the Romans in the mid-1st century and called Isca Dumnoniorum. As the central city of southwest England from the Anglo-Saxon period through the Middle Ages, it was constantly washed by the waves of drastic historical change, but in the Middle Ages many merchant guilds were formed and it developed as a commercial center. During the Elizabethan era, woolen manufacturing began, and at its peak, woolen production was second only to Leeds in the north of England, and the port prospered as a shipping port. It is the commercial center of the county, and many people work in the service industry, but industries such as metal processing, leather, papermaking, and agricultural machinery are also carried out. During World War II, the city suffered widespread damage from air raids, but historical buildings such as St. Peter's Cathedral, built in the mid-English Gothic style around 1275, and the 14th century Guildhall remain, making it a popular tourist destination. Exeter is also home to the University of Exeter (1922) and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. Area 47 ^km2 . Population 115,200 (2004 estimate).

イギリス，イングランド南西部，デボン県の県都。エクセター地区を構成する。プリマスの北東約 60km，イギリス海峡に注ぐエクス川の河口から約 16km上流の沿岸に位置する。イギリスの先住民であるドゥムノニ族の中心地であったが，1世紀半ばにローマ人に占領され，イスカドゥムノニオルム Isca Dumnoniorumと呼ばれた。アングロ・サクソン時代から中世を通じて，イングランド南西部の中心的都市として激しい歴史の変化の波に洗われ続けたが，中世には多くの商人ギルドが形成され，商業中心地として発展。エリザベス朝時代に毛織物の製造が始まり，その生産高は最盛期にはイングランド北部のリーズに次ぎ，港はその積出港として繁栄。県の商業中心地で，サービス業に従事する人が多いが，金属加工，皮革，製紙，農業機械などの工業も行なわれる。第2次世界大戦中，空襲により市街は広範囲にわたり被害を受けたが，1275年頃創建された中期イギリス・ゴシック様式の聖ピーター大聖堂や 14世紀のギルドホールなどの歴史的建築物が残っており，観光客も多い。エクセター大学（1922），ロイヤル・アルバート記念博物館などがある。面積 47km²。人口 11万5200（2004推計）。
