Preston is a city and non-metropolitan district of Lancashire, in the North West. It is located on the north of the River Ribble, and became a city in 2002, becoming England's 50th city in the 50th year of the Queen's reign. Preston has a population of around 131,900, and lies at the centre of the wider Preston sub-area, which has a population of 185,000, and Central Lancashire, with a population of 335,000.
Preston and its surroundings have shown evidence of Roman activity in the area, mainly in the form of a Roman road which led to a camp at Walton-le-Dale. The name Preston is derived from Old English words meaning "Priest settlement" and in the Domesday Book appears as "Prestune". During the Middle Ages, Preston formed a parish and township in the hundred of Amounderness and was granted a Guild Merchant charter in 1179, giving it the status of a market town.
