Warrington, Borough and unitary authority in Cheshire, England
Warrington extends across both sides of the River Mersey, encompassing urban centers, eighteen civil parishes, and rural areas within its 181 square kilometers territory.
The settlement originated at a River Mersey crossing point before Roman times and later developed into a medieval market town specializing in tool and textile production.
The area maintains three museums, multiple arts centers, and hosts the annual Neighbourhood Weekender music festival that draws visitors from surrounding regions.
The borough connects directly to major motorways linking Liverpool and Manchester, with two central railway stations providing regular services to both cities.
During World War II, Burtonwood RAF base in Warrington operated as the largest United States Army Air Force installation outside North American territory.
