As the administrative centre of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Wakefield, which had a population of 357,729 in 2022, it holds an important place in the region, being part of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area and the Yorkshire and The Humber region. Gaining city status in 1888 due to its cathedral, Wakefield is known for its historical significance. It was a site of the Battle of Wakefield during the Wars of the Roses and a Royalist stronghold during the English Civil War. The city's market town roots, tied to wool trading, grew through its advantageous location on the River Calder, making it an inland port. By the 18th century, Wakefield was a trading hub for corn, coal, and textiles, contributing to its economic growth.
