Luton is a large town in the south of England, 32 miles north of London.
Historically, Luton was within the county of Bedfordshire. However, since 1997, the town has
been a unitary authority. Luton, along with its near neighbours of Dunstable and Houghton Regis, form the
Luton/Dunstable Urban Area with a population of over 230,000.
Luton is home to Luton Town Football Club, London Luton Airport, and the University of
Bedfordshire.
The town was for many years famous for hat-making and was also home to a large Vauxhall
Motors factory; the head office of Vauxhall Motors is still situated in the town.
The source of the River Lea, part of the Thames Valley drainage basin, is in the Leagrave
area of the town. The Great Bramingham Wood surrounds this area. It is classified as ancient woodland; records
mention the wood at least 400 years ago.
The foundation of Luton is usually dated to the 6th century when a Saxon outpost was founded
on the River Lea, Lea tun.
Luton is recorded in the Domesday Book as Loitone and also as Lintone . Agriculture dominated
the local economy and the town's population was around 700-800.
Over the years Luton's expansion has swallowed up several of its neighbouring villages and hamlets. Several new
estates have also been constructed.
Former villages and hamlets include: Biscot, Crawley Green, Leagrave, Limbury, Round Green,
Stopsley
And new Luton estates include: Bramingham, Bushmead, Farley Hill, Hockwell Ring, Lewsey,
Marsh Farm, Sundon Park, Warden Hills, Wigmore.
