Glasgow grew from the
medieval
Bishopric of Glasgow
and the later establishment of the
University of Glasgow
in the
15th century
, which subsequently became a major centre of the
Scottish Enlightenment
in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Britain's main hubs of
transatlantic
trade
with
British North America
and the
British West Indies
. With the
Industrial Revolution
, the city and surrounding region shifted to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of Heavy
Engineering
,
[4]
most notably in the
Shipbuilding
and
Marine engineering
industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was known as the
"
Second City
of the
British Empire
"
for much of the
Victorian era
and
Edwardian period
.
