About Bradford

Bradford began as a Saxon village by a ford. Brad meant broad. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 the village by the broad ford had grown quite large (by the standards of the time) with perhaps 300-350 people. At the turn of the 19th century, Bradford was a small, rural market town of 16,000 people, where wool spinning and cloth weaving was carried out in local cottages and farms. In 1847 Bradford was granted borough status and elected its first local government representatives.

In schools Bradford pioneered meals, health care, swimming baths, nurseries, dentistry (it was a Bradford MP, W E Forster, who in 1870 pioneered the first Act of Parliament which was to give every child in Britain a free education). Bradford was granted City status on the 9th of June 1897 and became a Metropolitan District Council in 1974. Bradford achieved university status in 1966.
