Summary of Southampton Local
Southampton, city and English Channel port, a unitary authority in the historic county of Hampshire, southern England. It lies near the head of Southampton Water, on a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen.
In 43 CE a Roman settlement, Clausentum, was located on the east bank of the Itchen, and inscribed stones, coins, pottery, and other artifacts have been found in the area. Southampton (Hamtun, Suhampton) superseded the Saxon Hamtun and was a royal borough before 1086. The earliest town charter was given by King Henry II, probably in 1154–55, but the borough was not incorporated until 1445. Henry VI, in 1447, created Southampton a county in itself. A charter that remained in force until 1835 was granted by Charles I in 1640.
Southampton is a port city on England’s south coast. It’s home to the SeaCity Museum, with an interactive model of the Titanic, which departed from Southampton in 1912.
