Rugby is a historic market town in Warwickshire, England, best known as the birthplace of rugby football. In 1823, at Rugby School, pupil William Webb Ellis is said to have first picked up a football and ran with it, thus creating the distinctive game of rugby.
The town's rich educational heritage centers around the prestigious Rugby School, founded in 1567, whose historic buildings are still a prominent feature of the townscape. Beyond its sporting legacy, Rugby developed as an important railway junction during the Victorian era, contributing to its industrial growth.
The town maintains a blend of historic architecture, including its Victorian railway architecture, medieval buildings, and Georgian townhouses, alongside modern developments. Rugby's cultural scene includes several museums, art galleries, and performance venues, offering residents and visitors various opportunities to engage with both its sporting heritage and broader cultural offerings.
