About Kingston upon Hull To start with, we’d love to crave your indulgence one more time to go this route. We’re only trying to involve everyone, while we understand that we can’t just have everybody on board. Nevertheless, no strata of our lovers deserve to be overlooked. Over time, we’ve found that some may not know a lot about a particular city we are exploring in the United Kingdom. For the sake of such people, therefore, let’s tell you a bit about Kingston upon Hull in this video. Now, it is good to note at this moment that the name of the city Kingston upon Hull is often abbreviated to Hull. In this video, we will more often use the name Hull to describe the port city and unitary authority area you will find in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. So to let the name sink, we begin this way; Hull lies upon the River Hull, from where it derives its name, at its confluence with the Humber Estuary which is 40 kilometres inland from the North Sea and 60 kilometres south-east of the history county town of York. Based on its 2021 population figure of 266,463, Hull is the 63rd-largest city in the UK and the 4th-largest city in Yorkshire and the Humber with Leeds, Sheffield, and Bradford being the first, second, and third respectively. Hull occupies a total area of 71.5 square kilometres, meaning every square kilometre of the area of this port city is to be shared by 3,633 Hullesians, as the people of Hull are called. Yes, that is the population density. Hull in the Past It is quite easy for anyone who knows next to nothing about the past of this city to assume that it is now at its best in all ramifications. However, for someone who knows one thing or the other about its past, the present state of the city may not be so impressive. The history of the location now known as the city of Hull began as the town of Wyke on Hull which was founded late in the 12th century. So River Hull has always been a factor in its naming. It was the brainchild of the monks of Meaux Abbey with the intent of establishing a port for exporting their wool. In 1299, it was renamed kings-town upon Hull and became a market town, trading centre, military supply port, fishing and whaling centre, and industrial metropolis. It is all too easy to corrupt “Kings-town” to “Kingston.” You can only imagine the prosperity such a geographical location would be enjoying even before gaining city status in 1897. During the English Civil Wars, the city was an early theatre of battle. Its 18th-century MP, William Wilberforce, was at the forefront of the struggle for the abolition of the slave trade in Britain.
