About Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. Historically part of Staffordshire, the city is named after Wulfrun, who founded the town in 985, from the Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn.
The city grew initially as a market town specialising in the woolen trade. In the Industrial Revolution, it became a major centre for coal mining, steel production, lock making and the manufacture of cars and motorcycles.
The economy of the city is still based on engineering, including a large aerospace industry, as well as the service sector.
