history.
Belfast grew up around a castle built 1177 by John de Courcy. With the settlement of English and Scots, Belfast became a center of Irish Protestantism in the 17th century. An influx of Huguenots after 1685 extended the linen industry, and the 1800 Act of Union with England resulted in the promotion of Belfast as an industrial center. It was created a city 1888, with a lord mayor from 1892.
