 Shropshire |
|
Origin of name:
Latin: Civtas Scrobbensis, 'the city around the scrub folk'. The county
could easily have followed in the footsteps of Dorset and Somerset and
be known
as Shropset, but due to the power and influence of Shrewsbury the county name took its form from the town (pronounced 'Shro'sbury') leading the district to be called Shrewsburyshire which was inevitably shortened to Shropshire. Norman clerks found Shrewsburyshire intolerable to write and abbreviated it to Salop. |
