City of Wolverhampton, Metropolitan borough in West Midlands, England

The City of Wolverhampton extends across 27 square miles of urban territory, incorporating residential zones, commercial districts, and industrial areas.

The settlement evolved from an agricultural center into an industrial powerhouse after the discovery of coal and ironstone deposits in late 18th century Staffordshire.

The Wolverhampton Art Gallery maintains collections of pop art and local artifacts, while the Grand Theatre presents performances since 1894.

The city center features two traffic-free shopping districts connected by efficient public transport networks to Birmingham and surrounding regions.

In 2017, thirty wolf sculptures appeared throughout the city center as part of the 'Wolves in Wolves' initiative before their charity auction.
