Wakefield is a cathedral city and the administrative centre of the City of Wakefield district in West Yorkshire, England. The city is on the River Calder at the eastern edge of the Pennines. In the 18th century, Wakefield traded in corn, coal mining and textiles. In 1888 its parish church acquired cathedral status. It was the county town of the West Riding of Yorkshire and was the seat of the West Riding County Council from 1889 until 1974 when the county and council were abolished. West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council's headquarters were in County Hall from 1974 until its dissolution in 1986. The Battle of Wakefield took place in the Wars of the Roses, and the city was a Royalist stronghold in the Civil War. Wakefield became an important market town and centre for wool, exploiting its position on the navigable River Calder to become an inland port. The city had a population of 99,251 in the 2011 census.
