History:
The present town of Bournemouth barely existed in the early 19th century. In 1810, Captain Lewis Tregonwell (a retired army officer) visited the area and he found only a bridge crossing a small brook at the head of an unspoilt valley that led out into the Poole Bay. The Captain was so impressed by the place that he bought some acres and constructed a house, which is now part of the Royal Exeter Hotel. The town was to develop around the beach’s pines trees that were planted by Tregonwell. Over a few years, rapid development in Bournemouth has occurred and it became a perfect destination for rich holiday-makers and for invalids who looking for the sea air.
In 1974, Bournemouth was part of the non-metropolitan county of Dorset. In 1997, it became an independent unitary authority. For the purposes of the Lieutenancy, Bournemouth still stands as a part of the ceremonial county of Dorset.
