The city and borough of Wolverhampton is situated in England’s West Midlands region.

A Brief History of Wolverhampton

Historically, Wolverhampton was once a part of Staffordshire County and became part of the West Midlands in 1974. Just a small market town specializing in wool trade during the Middle Ages, the Industrial revolution brought prosperity and importance to Wolverhampton with a major boom in coal, iron ore and limestone mining. By the 19th century, Wolverhampton had become famous for its lock, bicycles and other such iron goods. The opening of the Great Western Railway factory in 1859 brought with it a new industry of locomotives manufacturing to Wolverhampton. The famous 17th century ‘Gunpowder Plot’ to kill the new king James I following Queen Elizabeth’s death, also took place near Wolverhampton.
