The area around Birmingham, England shows human activity from the Stone Age, Bronze Age settlements, Roman forts and roads, and the Anglo-Saxon era.

In 1150s a local lord was granted permission to hold a market, he purposely developed a commercial center around the area still known by the name Bull Ring.

The market town then grew as a textile center, and even larger due to the easy access to iron ore and coal that lead to metal working endeavors and the Industrial Revolution. Matthew Boulton, a Birmingham manufacturer of metal products, became a partner to James Watt and promoted the steam engine which assured the city's reputation. Today Birmingham is ranked as a beta world city.
