Castleford is a historic market town in West Yorkshire, England, located near the confluence of the River Aire and River Calder. The town has ancient roots dating back to Roman times when it was an important fort and settlement known as Lagentium.

Throughout its history, Castleford developed as an industrial center, particularly known for its coal mining, glass manufacturing, and pottery production. The town's industrial heritage has significantly shaped its cultural identity and landscape. While many of the traditional industries have declined, Castleford has worked to preserve its historical legacy while embracing modern development.

The town has connections to notable figures in British art, including renowned sculptor Henry Moore, who was born here in 1898. Today, Castleford combines its rich historical heritage with contemporary cultural initiatives and continues to serve as an important community hub in the region.
