Bolton, a town in Greater Manchester, England, lies amidst the West Pennine Moors, neighboring Manchester, Blackburn, Wigan, Bury, and Salford. It has a rich history in textile production dating back to the 14th century, with a peak in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution. By 1929, it boasted 216 cotton mills. However, the cotton industry declined post-World War I, and by the 1980s, cotton production had nearly ceased.
Bolton’s population is 139,403, with the wider borough at 262,400. It was a key site during the English Civil War, witnessing the tragic Bolton Massacre in 1644. Notable features include the University of Bolton Stadium, hometown of boxing champ Amir Khan, and cultural attractions like the Octagon Theatre and Bolton Museum and Art Gallery, with one of the earliest public libraries established under the Public Libraries Act 1850.
