Flixton, Greater Manchester
Flixton is a village and electoral ward within the Urmston area of the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester, England. It lies about six miles (9.7 km) to the southwest of Manchester city centre, within the historic county boundaries of Lancashire.
Neolithic and Bronze Age artefacts have been found locally and the area may therefore have been inhabited during those periods. Medieval Flixton was a parish within the Hundred of Salford and encompassed the manor of Flixton, along with its church, first mentioned during the 12th century. The parish comprised isolated farmsteads and a manor house. Toward the end of the 17th century its population began to rise, continuing through the 19th century, although at a much slower pace than its neighbours. Flixton was a remote rural area with few transport links and did not witness the level of industrialisation other parts of Manchester saw, but its connection to the UK's railway network in 1873 helped transform the area into a middle-class railway suburb.
Flixton's constituents are represented in Parliament by Labour MP Kate Green.
==Etymology==
Flixton has been recorded as fflixton, Fluxton, Flyxton, Flyxeton, Fleece-town, Flixston and Flixtone. It is not mentioned in the Domesday Survey, and first appears in historical records in 1176 or 1177.〔 The name may be Scandinavian in origin, the Anglo-Saxon ''ton'' meaning a farmstead, although along with nearby Urmston, it may be an anglicised personal name from the 10th or 11th centuries and not a primary settlement name from earlier times.
