In 2015 population was around 207,700, which is more than twice of 1968 when it became a New Town. It is the main town in the county of Cheshire.
The Romans founded Warrington at a major crossing place on the River Mersey. Saxons established a new settlement in Warrington. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had developed as a market town at the lowermost bridging point of the river. A local custom of textile and tool production dates from this time.
