The city started grew from what was medieval Bishopric of Glasglow and would later grow further from the University of Glasglow.
In the 18th Century Glasglow was one of the main areas for transatlantic trade with North and South America. During the time of the Industrial Revolution Glasglow was still a very populous and popular place as it became the epicenter of shipbuilding and even engineering. Today the city is still going strong and is considered one of the top 20 financial centers.
