Lille, France City Info
Lille first appears in the history books in 1066. Its name is derived from the Latin word insula, meaning 'island'. At that time, the city rose up from the marshlands, crossed by many tributaries of the Deûle - a peaceful river diverted into canals, which exists to this day. A Castrum, the Comtesse island and a forum, which is now the Grand Place lie in the swamp.
Being a city of trade and commerce and a center for weaving, (like Bruges and Ypres), the majority of Lille's fortune came from its famous market, organised by one of its benefactors, Jeanne de Constantinople - better known as the 'Countess of Flanders', who also gave it the Hospice Comtesse.
The nineteenth century was calmer, and saw Lille become an industrial capital. The city grew, tripling in area and doubling in population by absorbing neighboring towns. In 1846, the first railway between Paris and Lille was built, Louis Pasteur became the first Dean of the Science Faculty from 1854 to 1857 and industrialisation continued to take hold, particularly in textiles. At the end of the century the "Internationale" was composed by the local Pierre Degeyter in 1888 and Charles de Gaule was born here in 1890!
Armies of weary souls haunted the plains of Flanders after the terrible battles of the two World Wars. The decline of the textile industry in the fifties threatened the economy of the city, which decided to focus on services (administration, banking, universities). Lille still lives up to its friendly reputation ' it is one of the few cities where no one can feel lonely for very long, thanks to the legendary northern welcome.
