History
Archaeological remains date back to the early Stone Age. Roman occupation left many sites and this period ended in the fifth century with the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons who later built towns such as Hertford as fortresses in the struggle against the Danes. Proximity to London made the county a popular retreat for the nobility, whose grand homes entertained visiting royalty. During the industrial revolution the county saw a spectacular growth of population.
