Description

Kingston upon Hull, normalt forkortet til Hull, er en havneby og enhedslovområde i East Riding of Yorkshire, nordøstlige England. Den ligger ved floden Hull ved dens sammenløb med Humber Estuary, 25 miles inde fra Nordsøen, 50 miles øst for Leeds, 34 miles sydøst for York og 54 miles nordøst for Sheffield. Med en befolkning på 259.778 er Hull den fjerdestørste by i Yorkshire og Humber.

Byen Wyke on Hull blev grundlagt sent i det 12. århundrede af munkene fra Meaux Abbey som en havn, hvorfra de kunne eksportere deres uld.
Ombenævnt Kings-town upon Hull i 1299, havde Hull været en markedby, militærforsyningshavn, handelscentrum, fiske- og hvalfangstcenter samt industrialiseret metropol.
Hull var et tidligt slagmark under den engelske borgerkrig. Dens medlem af parlamentet fra det 18. århundrede, William Wilberforce, spillede en fremtrædende rolle i afskaffelsen af slavehandelen i Storbritannien.
