  This history of Rotherham traces the development of the town from its prehistoric origins to the end of the second millennium. It encompasses Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement, the Norman Conquest and the first documentary mention of the town in the Domesday Book, the rebuilding of the parish church as Rotherham expanded in the 15th century, 18th-century industrial development - which changed the small town into a major centre for the iron and steel industries, 19th-century civic consolidation, and the dramatic changes in the townscape during the 20th century.
