York was known as Eboracum by the Romans, who founded the fortress city on the River Ouse in the year 71. York quickly became one of the most important cities in Roman Britain and after 211 became the capital of the province Britannia Inferior.

Captured by the Vikings 866, the city quickly took on a new identity as Jorvik (pronounced "Yor-vik") and was a centre of Viking trade and settlement in northern England. The Coppergate shows much of this Viking past.

In York the gates to the city are called bars, the roads are called gates and the bars are called public houses :)
