History of Lancashire : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Lancashire (詳細はcounty of England, in the northwest of the country. The county did not exist in 1066 and was apparently first created in 1182〔http://www.highsheriffs.com/Lancashire/LancashireHistory.htm〕 making it one of the youngest of the traditional counties. In 1974 the administrative Lancashire was created, which lost substantial parts to new creations. Since then, Preston has served as the seat of the county council, although the historic county palatine boundaries are still recognized and unmoved with Lancaster still being recognised as the county town.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=County Palatine )〕 Traditional borders are still followed by organisations such as the Lancashire FA.〔http://www.lancashirefa.com/the-assocation〕 The historic county consisted of two separate parts. The main part runs along the northwestern coast of England. When it included Manchester and Liverpool it had a greatest length of 76 miles, and breadth of 45 miles, and an area of 1,208,154 acres. The northern detached part of the old county palatine, consisting of Furness and Cartmell was 25 miles in length, 23 miles in breadth and was separated from the main portion of Lancashire by Morecambe Bay and the Kendal district of Westmorland.〔http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/17463〕 Administratively it has now joined Westmorland as part of modern Cumbria. This district reaches a peak height of 2633ft at Old Man of Coniston, the highest in England. As a county palatine, the Duke of Lancaster is still vested sovereignty rights in the spheres of justice and administration within historic boundaries.〔http://www.duchyoflancaster.co.uk/about-the-duchy/history/county-palatine/〕 ==Toponomy==
Lancashire takes its name from the city of Lancaster, whose name means 'Roman fort on the River Lune', combining the name of the river with the Old English ''cæster'', which derived from the Roman word for a fort or camp. Though the Pipe Rolls of 1168 refer to a county of Lancaster, that indicated merely the north of present Lancashire. The southern part had broken away from Cheshire and also become a separate territorial division described as "'twixt Ribble and Mersey." When the fusion between these northern and southern parts took place, "Lancastershire" and not "Lancashire" was the first title and, in the time of Henry VIII, Leland, the antiquarian, was still using it.〔http://www.british-towns.net/en/level_2_display_ByL1.asp?GetL1=133〕 Lancashire became the preferred designation, as a syncope of Lancastershire.
