Yeadon, West Yorkshire history
Early times
The name comes from Old English gæh and dūn meaning steep hill. It was one of three hill settlements: Rawdon, Yeadon and Baildon.
Medieval Period
It was part of the Kingdom of Elmet until overrun by the Anglo-Saxons who transferred religion to Guiseley by building a church and divided Yeadon into two areas with Saxon lords (thegns) After the Norman conquest the two manors were taken from their Saxon Lords. Much of the area was later acquired by Bolton Priory and Kirkstall Abbey who exerted considerable power until the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Later history
The area prospered during the 17th century, with 93 hearths (i.e. fireplace with chimney) recorded. The town was no more divided and had a significant social organization with Poor relief and a Constable. The population rose rapidly from 1,695 in 1801 to 4,109 in 1851 and 7,396 in 1891.
20th century onwards
Increasing social unrest and labour disputes in the early 20th century led to a major lockout and hunger marches in 1913. In 1937 it became part of the Aireborough district, being the most populous township of over ten thousand.
