About
About Rochdale
Rochdale ( ROTCH-dayl) is a town in Greater Manchester, England, and the administrative centre of the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. In the 2021 Census, the town had a population of 111,261, compared to 223,773 for the wider borough.
Rochdale grew up from the 18th century as a textile town and transport hub: the Rochdale canal, completed in 1807, was the surest way to transport goods across the Pennines, a huge improvement on pack horses struggling over rough tracks. The textile trade collapsed in the 20th century and Rochdale, historically part of Lancashire, became part of Greater Manchester during the 1974 reorganisation.
