Description

Bolton ist eine Stadt im Metropolitan County Greater Manchester in England im Tal des River Croal. Bolton gehörte bis 1974 zur Grafschaft Lancashire; seitdem ist es der Verwaltungssitz des Metropolitan Borough Bolton. Die Stadt zählte 2001 rund 139.000 Einwohner.

Die Geschichte Boltons reicht bis in die Bronzezeit zurück. Erste urkundliche Nachweise datieren auf das Jahr 1067 und verzeichnen ein Manor of Bolton im Ort Bolton-le-Moors. Bolton und die umliegende Gegend gehörten nach der Invasion der Normannen 1066 zur Krone. Später wurde das Land zwischen River Mersey und River Ribble westlich von Manchester von Wilhelm dem Eroberer einem Baron Roger de Poictou gegeben. Später kam es zurück zur Krone, dann zu Ranulf de Briscasar, 3. Earl of Chester und anschließend zu Roger de Maresy. Die meisten Familien, die das Landgut Bolton innehatten, gehörten zum Haus des Earl of Derby.
