The civil parish of Wales, which has a population of 6,455,[2] increasing to 7,069 at the 2011 Census.[3] encompasses the village of Wales and neighbouring settlement Kiveton Park. The actual settlement of Wales has a 2011 population of 1,260.[4] HistoryWales shares its name with the country of Wales, and the derivation may well be the same: the name Wales coming from a Germanic root meaning foreigner and Roman. The suggestion, therefore, is that there was a continued Celtic presence here following the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons at the turn of the 6th century. An alternative explanation suggests that the settlement's name may be derived from the word Waelas, meaning "field of battle".[1] The earliest reference to Wales is in 1002, when Wulfric Spot, a Saxon thegn, is recorded as owning Walesho. Sir William Hewet, Lord Mayor of London in 1559, was born in Wales, and his descendants, the Dukes of Leeds, would come to dominate the area. The collieries at Waleswood and Kiveton Park historically provided employment in the area, including to migrants from Wales' namesake country, until Kiveton Park Colliery was closed in September 1994.[1] GeographyThe village of Wales itself is located at approximately {{coord|53|20|30|N|1|16|45|W|}}, at an elevation of around 1,000 feet above sea level. It lies on the A618 and B6059 roads. The M1 motorway bisects the parish, while the southern boundary is partly marked by the Chesterfield Canal whose Norwood Tunnel runs under meadowland to the south. To the west of the village is Rother Valley Country Park. Education and employmentEducation in Wales is provided by Wales Primary School and Wales High School. The industrial estate at Wales Common continues to be a large source of employment (not least the food manufacturer Greencore Prepared Foods) & LuK, part of the multi-national manufacturing group producing clutch & automotive parts.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-45086764 |title=Wales namesakes: The country and the Yorkshire village |work=BBC News |accessdate=25 August 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/viewFullDataset.do?instanceSelection=03070&productId=779&$ph=60_61&datasetInstanceId=3070&startColumn=1&numberOfColumns=8&containerAreaId=790255 |title=Census 2001 : Parish Headcounts : Rotherham|accessdate= 28 August 2009|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics}} 3. ^{{NOMIS2011|id=1170210928|title=Wales Parish|accessdate=26 August 2018}} 4. ^Wales is made up of four output areas in the Wales ward http://www.ukcensusdata.com/wales-e05001035#sthash.Dj7dOifD.QR4CsRRh.dpbs 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.schaeffler.co.uk/content.schaeffler.co.uk/en/worldwide/regions/regions.jsp?view_images=true&companyRole_id=Industrial.Location&companyRole_id=Industrial.Office&companyRole_id=Industrial.Service&companyRole_id=Automotive.OEM&companyRole_id=Automotive.Aftermarket&continent_id=39&country_id=3397&location_id=77107121&submitted=|title=Schaeffler United Kingdom {{!}} Worldwide {{!}} Locations {{!}} List|publisher=Schaeffler UK|accessdate=2 January 2018}} External links
