York Description |
|
The Name "york"has a interesting etymological history,ultimately deriving from the latin name for the city,Eboracum,which derived from the Brythonic ebor-ebon meaning"Place of Yew Trees" The name may have been derived from another Roman City in Iberian peninsula called Ebora(current day Evora on Portugal).The city was founded in AD 71,and has a rich Roman and Viking History,acting as capital of the Roman province of Britannia inferior. After being settled by the Anglo-Saxons,the city was given the name Eoforwic(meaning'Boars Dwelling')It was also one of the capitols of Northumbria,the other being Bamburgh,It later became the seat of the Archbishop of York,whose province of York covers northern england,and acted as the centre for the Viking kingdom of Jorvik.The city remained one of Englandsa main cities throughout the middle ages,declining in relative importance only with the industrial revolution.York was the capital city of the country before London and is still a highly vibrant and thriving community to this day.York's economic downturn during the industrial revolution meant that many medievil structures,elsewhere swept aside to make way for mills and factories,survied reasonably intact.The renewed interest in medievilism in the 19th century led to a widespread programme of renovation,and to this day the city attracts a great deal of tourism,the jewel in the crown being the city's historic cathedral church .York Minster.
