Historically a part of Lancashire, Salford's early history is marked by its status as the judicial seat of the ancient hundred of Salfordshire, to which it lends its name. It was granted a charter by Ranulf, 4th Earl of Chester, about 1230 which made Salford a free borough. During the early stages of its growth, Salford was of greater cultural and commercial importance than its neighbour Manchester, though most contemporary sources agree that since the Industrial Revolution this position has been reversed.
