Wolverhampton is a city in Staffordshire, England. It is located around 30 miles to the south of Stoke-on-Trent in the north of the county, 15 miles south of the county town Stafford, and about 15 miles north-west of Birmingham, Warwickshire. The immediate south and east is the Black Country, of which Wolverhampton is sometimes considered a part, and around 10 miles to the west lies the border with Shropshire.
History
The settlement was established by 985 AD, when Ethelred the Unready granted the lands of Heanton to a Lady Wulfrun.
