The name Bury, Buri and Byri comes from the Saxon and means "a stronghold". In ancient times it is thought that the whole area was probably forest, marsh and moorland inhabited by nomadic herdsmen.
The Borough has a rich and varied heritage. It exhibits the origins of settlements from prehistory through to the impact of industrial expansion during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Borough's character is divided between the edge of the Manchester conurbation in the south and the Pennine villages and valleys in the north.
The paper industry had also grown in the area since the last century and had brought much wealth and prosperity. Even today there are still successful paper mills particularly in Radcliffe and Ramsbottom which place Bury among the most important paper making centres in Europe
