Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire, England. Its name comes from a field on the River Sheaf that runs through the city of steel.
The city has grown from its industrial roots during the revolution to encompass a wide economic base. The population of the City of Sheffield is estimated at 525,800 people in 2006 by the city council. Sheffield is in the top 10 largest English cities outside of London.
Sheffield obtained global recognition during the 19th century for its production of steel. Many innovations in the industry were developed locally, including crucible and stainless steel. This fuelled an almost tenfold increase in the population during the Industrial Revolution. It gained its city charter in 1893 and became officially titled the City of Sheffield.
A glorious City in South Yorkshire that today has a large student population and two universities being The University of Sheffield and Hallam University.
