Farnborough, Administrative town in Rushmoor, England
Farnborough sits at 65 meters above sea level in Hampshire, featuring retail parks, shopping centers, and multiple commercial districts across its territory.
The area transformed from a small settlement of 1,366 residents in 1801 to a major urban center with over 39,000 inhabitants by 1901.
The twice-weekly market and monthly craft fairs from March to December maintain commercial traditions while supporting local artisans and merchants.
