About Manchester

Manchester (fortified town) is a city in Greater Manchester, England, with a population of 530,300 (in 2015). It lies within the United Kingdom's second most populous urban area, with a population of 2.55 million.

This  and resulted in Manchester becoming the world's first industrialised city.

Manchester achieved city status in 1853. The Manchester Ship Canal opened in 1894, creating the Port of Manchester and linking the place to the sea, 36 miles (58 km) to the west.
