Knighton
Knighton (population 3,172) is a tiny market town and community in central Powys (previously Radnorshire), Wales, on the Teme and the England-- Wales border. A small part of the community, consisting of Knighton train station, remains in Shropshire, England. This Anglo-Saxon settlement later on came to be a Norman strengthened community. The community has a selection of shops serving a big country hinterland as well as employing 18% of the active population and is, after manufacturing (18.81%), the biggest employment field. Otherwise, as well as alike with many villages, Knighton has little market. The majority of youngsters leave after finishing their education and learning. Tourist is important as well as, subsequently, the area was hit hard by the foot and mouth epidemic of 2001. Although wages are low and 20%+ of houses have no vehicle, Knighton has an unemployment price (2001) of just 2.88%. Duty for economic development lies with the Welsh Assembly Government. Knighton seclusion makes it an unlikely choice for the traveler as well as, subsequently, most of the working population (69.45% in 2001) job within a 12 miles (19 km) Travel to Work Area. The Welsh name, Tref-y-clawdd, meaning "town on the dyke", was first recorded in 1262 as well as officially offered to the community in 1971. The name Knighton most likely stems from the Old English words cniht (a soldier, individual follower, young man, servant, thane or freeman) and also tun (ranch, negotiation or homestead). Thus it might have been founded via a give of land to freemen.
