The history of Oldham dates back to 865 AD. Danish invaders established the first settlement in the area and called it Aldehulme. However, much of its history depends on the Industrial Revolution, especially 18th and 19th century cotton spinning.Oldham became a municipal borough in 1849. It was later incorporated as a county borough in 1889 when Lancashire County Council was created. The Local Government Act 1972 abolished the county borough and consequently the town became part of Greater Manchester in 1974. Since then, it has been the seat of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham.
