The River Aire runs through the city. Vilages in Leeds include Swillington, Kippax, Allerton Bywater and Garforth In 1974 the former county borough of Leeds was merged with the towns of Wetherby, Morley, West Yorkshire Morley, Otley, Pudsey, and other surrounding areas to form a metropolitan borough â€” the city status of the county borough being conferred on the new metropolitan borough. Somewhat confusingly therefore, the City of Leeds contains a number of towns including the former county borough of Leeds, which can be thought of as Leeds proper. For the purposes of this article ''Leeds'' refers to the city as it was prior to 1974 as to distinguish it from the metropolitan borough called the ''City of Leeds''. According to the 2001 UK census the Leeds Urban Area had a population of List of English cities by population 443,247 while the City of Leeds had a population of List of English districts by population 719,600 and is one of England's English Core Cities Group core cities. An inhabitant of Leeds is locally known as a ''Loiner'', a word derived from the 'Loins' (or lanes) around Briggate in the town's centre, although the term is rarely used or understood. The mock-classical adjectives ''Leodensian'' and ''Leodiensian'' are sometimes used by some local sports clubs.

History
{{expandsect}} Image:Leeds 1866 by J Bartholemew edited.jpg thumb|275px|An 1866 map of Leeds. Leeds was an agricultural market town in the Middle Ages, and received its first charter in 1207. In the Tudor period Leeds was mainly a merchant town manufacturing woollen cloths and trading with Europe via the Humber estuary. At one point nearly half of England's total export passed through Leeds. The city's industrial growth was catalysed by the introduction of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in 1816 and the railway in 1848. The name "Leeds" came from "Leodis", which was a name recorded in Anglo-Saxon sources for a Celt Celtic kingdom that survived in the area for a while after the Anglo-Saxon invasion.

Industry and economy
Image:Leeds Rathaus.jpg right|thumb|Leeds Town Hall - Victorian civic confidence Leeds has a diverse economy with the service sector now dominating over the city's manufacturing industries. It has in the past been served well by its canal, and today by its rail network at Railway stations in Leeds Leeds station, from where Metro (West Yorkshire) MetroTrains operate to all parts of West Yorkshire and other operators to the rest of the country. Leeds Station is the busiest in the UK, outside London. With the A1(M), M1 motorway (England) M1 and M62 motorway M62 intersecting at Leeds, it is the principal northern hub of the motorway network. Leeds Bradford International Airport is located to the north-west of the city and has scheduled flights to destinations within Europe, Egypt and Turkey, although competition from the newly opened Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield nearby could lead to a reduction in the airport's traffic over a long term period. The city had plans for a tram network, however the governemnt pulled the scheme due to spiralling costs. The strongest theory for this is so funds can be redicrected to London, although a confirmed reason is still unknown. Leeds remains the largest city in the EU without a mass transit system. Image:Briggate, Leeds.jpg left|thumb|Briggate, Leeds These good transport links have been a major factor contributing to the growth of Leeds, and have led to the city becoming a major centre for distribution. Retail is another major service and employer in the city centre, with a retail economy which has experienced a recent boom resulting in several new shops. Briggate is one of Leeds' main shopping streets, with the Victoria Quarter and Harvey Nichols. The city centre also includes Europe's largest indoor market, and over 8 shopping centres. The Eastgate/Harewood Quarter and Trinity Qtr. will re-establish Leeds as one of Europe's top shopping centres. Although, like the rest of the North of England, Leeds had its fair share of tough economic times during the 1970s and 1980s, it bounced back quickly by investing heavily in communications links in advance of the Internet. This helped it (along with Birmingham and Glasgow) become one of the major hubs for call-centres in the late 20th century, particularly for service-oriented companies. Many outlying towns formerly relying on mining and heavy industry, found financial salvation in the 'reliable' sounding Yorkshire dialect and accent Yorkshire accent. However, many of these large employers are now outsourcing many of these jobs to places like Bangalore in India, where staff costs are considerably lower. Leeds has one of the UK's strongest economies, with unemployment at a record low in Leeds and with the largest media, financial and legal sectors outside London. Leeds is home to the UK headquarters of Asda Walmart, Arla Foods, Direct Line Insurance, Jet2.com Airline, Northern Foods, Optare, Q Hotels, Whizz-Go Car Rental, Leeds Building Society and Yorkshire Bank.

Music
{{cleanup-date|December 2005}} Though not as prolific as its neighbour Liverpool across the Pennines, or indeed Sheffield in South Yorkshire, Leeds has still produced some notable bands. The Mekons and the influential Gang of Four (band) Gang of Four came out of the 1970s punk music punk movement, whilst in the early to mid 1980s the city was home to a large goth scene and more or less famous local bands including Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, The Sisters of Mercy and Salvation (band) Salvation (which was formed by Sisters of Mercy roadies).

Later 1980s and 1990s rock bands include The Wedding Present, Cinerama, Chumbawumba and Cud. The early eighties is also noted for Punk bands the '''Abrasive Wheels''', '''the Underdogs''' and '''the Expelled''' who all shared the same record label - Riot City - in Bristol.

Like in most major northern cities, house music had a big impact on Leeds when it arrived in the late 1980s. Early house nights included Downbeat at the Warehouse, Meltdown at the Astoria in Roundhay, and Joy and Kaos at various temporary venues, along with a thriving Shebeen or "Blues" scene in Chapeltown, West Yorkshire Chapeltown. Along with Sheffield and Bradford, Leeds was a centre for the Yorkshire Bleeps and Bass scene in 1989-1990, with influential local bands such as LFO (British group) LFO, Nightmares on Wax, Ital Rockers, Unit 93 and Juno (band, Leeds) Juno on Sheffield's Warp Records and Leeds' Bassic Records. This early underground scene developed into the Leeds club scene of the 1990s, when for a while Leeds held the title of Britain's clubbing capital. Both Back to Basics and mixed gay night Vague club, Leeds Vague enjoyed the title of best club in Britain at different points in the decade, whilst The Orbit in Morley, West Yorkshire Morley was an internationally recognised techno music techno mecca.
