Carlisle was a Roman civil settlement (Luguvalium) and has had continued occupation since. In the 10th and 11th centuries it was controlled by the Scots and figured in the Anglo-Scottish disputes and wars all the way to the 1745 rebellion. It prospered modestly in the 17th and 18th centuries and became an important railway junction later in the 19th century. *
