The roads and baths of ancient Rome found in Leicester recall its era of military settlement, when it was founded as Ratae Corieltauvorum and was located in an inhabited place of the Celtic Corieltauvi tribe. After the Roman period, the medieval settlement fell into shadows until the arrival of the Danes, who captured it and became one of five important fortified cities for the Danelaw. The name "Leicester" comes from the words castra and "Ligore" (early name of the Legro River, now Soar), that is to say "Fort of the Ligore" referring to the position of the fort on the river. The city appears in the Domesday Book as «Ledecestre». Leicester continued to grow throughout the Modern Age as a commercial city, although it was the industrial revolution that facilitated an unprecedented process of urbanization in the area.
The construction of the railroad and the network of canals through the area stimulated industrial growth in the 19th century, causing Leicester to become an important economic center with a variety of factories in engineering, shoes and production of socks. The economic success of these industries and their auxiliary companies resulted in the significant urban expansion around the city. The boundaries of Leicester extended throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, becoming "bourgeois municipality" ('county borough') in 1889 and granted city status in 1919.
Today, Leicester is a flourishing city located on the Midland Main Line (one of the United Kingdom's 'rail networks' sub-networks) and in the middle of the M1 motorway, this route that connects London with Leeds. Leicester has a large population of ethnic minorities, the product of the most recent immigration bums to the United Kingdom since World War II. The city has a large community from South Asia such as other communities from the EU and other parts of the world, as well as places of worship for Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Orthodox Christians among others. Leicester is a center for higher education thanks to the University of Leicester, the DMU: De Montfort - University and the University of Loughborough, all founded in the region.
