About  Lincoln   

Lincoln began life as a Roman town. The Romans conquered Lincolnshire in 48 AD. Shortly afterwards they built a fort on the site of Lincoln. However by the late 1st century the area was pacified so the soldiers moved on and the fort was abandoned. A new town was created on the site. It was a colonia a settlement for retired soldiers. The word lindo means pool in the Celtic language. So the Romans called the new town Lindum colonia. (After the Romans left the name Lindum was corrupted to Lindon then finally to Lincoln)
