Ancient era
Cried Antium in ancient times, it wis the caipital o the Volsci fowk till it wis conquered bi the Romans.
In 493 BC the Roman consul Postumus Cominius Auruncus focht an defeatit twa airmies frae Antium, an as a result captured the Volscian touns o Longula, Pollusca an Corioli (tae the north o Antium).
Wi the latter expansion o Roum it was just far enough awa tae be insulatit frae the riots an tumults o Roum. When Cicero returned frae exile, it wis at Antium that he reassembled the battered remains o his librars, whaur the scrolls wad be secur. Leadin Romans built magnificent seaside villas at Antium. The Julian an Claudian emperors frequently visitit it: Gaius Maecenas haed a villa at Antium; baith Emperor Caligula an Nero wur born in Antium; the latter foondit a colony o veterans an built a new harbour, the projectin moles o which still exist.
Remains o Roman villas are conspicuous aw alang the shore, baith tae the east an tae the north-wast o the toun. Mony auncient wirks o airt hae been foond thare: the Fanciulla d'Anzio, the Borghese Gladiator (in the Louvre) an the Apollo Belvedere (in the Vatican) wur aw discovered in the ruins o villas at Antium.
O the villas, the maist famous wis the Villa o Nero at Antium which cannot be certainly identifee'd, but is generally placit at the so-cried Arco Muto, whaur remains o a theatre (discovered in 1712 an covered up again) exist an aw. It extendit alang the coast o the Capo d'Anzio some 800 metres o seafront. Nero razit the umwhile villa on the steid, whaur Augustus haed receivit a delegation frae Roum tae acclaim him Pater patriae ("Faither o his Kintra") tae rebuild on its foondations a villa on a mair imperial scale, which wis uised bi each Emperor in turn, up tae the Severans. O the famous temple o Fortune (Horace, Od. i. 35) nae remains are kent.
Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages Antium wis desertit in favour o Nettuno: at the end o the 17t century Innocent XII an Clement XI restored the harbour, no on the auld steid but tae the east o it, wi the openin tae the east, a mistak which leads tae its bein frequently siltit up; it haes a deth o aboot 5 m. The sea is encroachin slichtly at Anzio, but some kilometres farther north-wast the auld Roman coast-line nou lees slichtly inland (see Tiber). The Volscian ceety stuid on heicher grund an somewha awa frae the shore, tho it extendit doun tae it. This wis defendit bi a deep ditch, which can still be tracit, an bi waws, a portion o which, on the eastren side, constructit o rectangular blocks o tufa, wis brocht tae licht in 1897.
Warld War II
Anzio an Nettuno are notable as steids o a Alleed forces laundin an aw an the ensuin Battle o Anzio durin Warld War II. The Commonweel Anzio War Cemetery an Beach Head War Cemetery are locatit here.

On 18 Februar 1944, the Breetish licht cruiser HMS Penelope (97) wis struck bi twa torpedoes aff the coast o Anzio an sunk wi a loss o 417 crew.
In the same region Eric Fletcher Waters lost his life in battle. His son, Roger Waters, become the lead sangster o progressive rock baund Pink Floyd. In his honour an remembrance Roger Waters recordit the sang "The Fletcher Memorial Home", which is the maiden name o Eric Waters' mither. (An aw see "When the Tigers Broke Free".)

Windsor is kent as The Ceety o Roses an residents ar kent as Windsorites.
History
Prior tae European exploration an dounset, the Windsor aurie wis inhabited bi the First Naitions an Native American fowk. Windsor wis settled bi the French Canadaens in 1749 as an agricultural dounset. It wis the auldest continually inhabited European dounset in Canadae wast o Montreal. The aurie wis first named Petite Côte ("Little Coast" - as opposed tae the langer coastline on the Detroit side o the river). Later it wis cried La Côte de Misère ("Poverty Coast") acause o the sandy soils near LaSalle.
Windsor's Canadian heritage is reflectit in mony French street names, sic as Ouellette, Pelissier, François, Pierre, Langlois, Marentette, an Lauzon. The current street seestem o Windsor (a grid wi elangatit blocks) reflects the Canadian method o agricultural land division, whaur the farms wur lang an nairae, frontin alang the river. The day, the north-sooth street name aften indicates the name o the faimily that at ane time farmed the land. The street seestem o ootlyin auries is consistent wi the Breetish seestem for grantin land concessions. Thare is a significant French-speakin minority in Windsor an the surroundin auries, parteecularly in the Lakeshore, Tecumseh an LaSalle auries.
In 1794, efter the American Revolution, the dounset o "Sandwich" wis foondit. It wis later renamed tae Windsor, efter the toun in Berkshire, Ingland. The Sandwich neighbourhood on Windsor's wast side is home tae some o the auldest buildings in the ceety, includin Mackenzie Hall, oreeginally biggit as the Essex Coonty Courthouse in 1855. The day, this building functions as a community centre. The auldest building in the ceety is the Duff-Baby House biggit in 1792. It is awned bi Ontariae Heritage Trust an houses govrenment offices. The François Baby House in dountoun Windsor wis biggit in 1812 an houses Windsor's Community Museum, dedicated tae local heestory.
Windsor wis established as a veelage in 1854 (the same year the veelage wis connectit tae the rest o Canadae bi the Grand Trunk Railway/Canadian Naitional Railway), then became a toun in 1858, an ultimately gained ceety status in 1892.
A fire consumed muckle o Windsor's dountoun core on October 12, 1871, destroyin ower 100 buildings.
On October 25, 1960, a massive gas explosion destroyed the building housin the Metropolitan Store on Ouellette Avenue. Ten fowk wur killed an at least ane hunder injured. The 45t anniversary o the event wis commemoratit bi the Windsor Star on October 25, 2005. It wis featurt on History Television's Disasters o the Century.
The Windsor Star Centennial Edition in 1992 covered the ceety's past, its success as a railwey centre, an its contreibutions tae Warld War I an Warld War II. It an aa recalled the namin controversy in 1892 when the toun o Windsor aimed tae acome a ceety. The maist popular names listed in the namin controversy wur "Sooth Detroit", "The Ferry" (frae the ferries that linked Windsor tae Detroit), Windsor, an Richmond (the runner-up in popularity). Windsor wis chosen tae promote the heritage o new Inglis settlers in the ceety an tae recognise Windsor Castle in Berkshire, Ingland. Housomeivver, Richmond wis a popular name uised until the Seicont Warld War, mainly bi the local post office.
Sandwich, Ford Ceety an Walkerville wur separate legal entities (touns) in thair awn right until 1935. Thay ar nou historic neighbourhoods of Windsor. Ford Ceety wis offeecially incorporatit as a veelage in 1912; it became a toun in 1915, an a ceety in 1929. Walkerville wis incorporatit as a toun in 1890. Sandwich wis established in 1817 as a toun wi nae municipal status. It wis incorporated as a toun in 1858 (the same year as neighbourin Windsor).
Thir three touns wur each annexed bi Windsor in 1935. The nearby villages o Ojibway an Riverside wur incorporated in 1913 an 1921 respectively. Baith wur annexed bi Windsor in 1966.

It is kent tae be the "granary" o the kintra acause o its variety o agricultural products due tae Cochabamba's geographical poseetion. It haes an aurie o 55,631 km². Its population, in the 2007 census, wis 1,750,000. Its caipital is the ceety o Cochabamba. Cochabamba is kent as the "Ceety o Eternal Spring" an "The Garden Ceety" due tae its spring-lik temperatures year roond.
History
The Cochabamba valley wis inhabitit for ower a thoosan years due tae its fertile productive soils an climate. Archaeological evidence suggests that the initial valley indwallers wur o various ethnic indigenous groups. Inca, Tupuraya, Mojocoya, Omereque, an Tiwanaku inhabitit the valley at various times afore the Spainyie arrivit.
The first Spainyie inhabitant o the Valley wis Garci Ruiz de Orellana in 1542. He purchased the majority o the land frae local tribal chiefs Achata an Consavana throu a title registered in 1552 at the Imperial Ceety o Potosí. The price peyed wis 130 pesos. His residence, kent as the Hoose o Mayorazgo, still staunds in the Cala Cala neebourheid o the ceety.
The ceety, cried Villa de Oropesa wis foondit on 2 August 1571 bi order o Viceroy Francisco de Toledo, Coont o Oropesa. It wis tae be an agricultural production centre tae provide fuid for the minin touns o the relatively nearby Altiplano region, parteecularly the ceety o Potosí which became ane o the lairgest an richest ceeties in the warld durin the 17t century - fundin the vast walth that ultimately made Spain a warld pouer at the time. Wi the siller minin industry in Potosi at its hicht, Cochabamba thrivit durin its first centuries o existence. The ceety entered a period o decline durin the 18t century as minin began tae wane.
In 1786, Keeng Charles III o Spain renamit the ceety tae the 'lyal an valiant' Villa o Cochabamba. This wis done tae commend the ceety's pivotal role in suppressin the indigenous rebellions o 1781 in Oruro bi sendin airmit forces tae Oruro tae quell the uprisins.

Climate
Leon generally haes a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cwa) wi simmer rainfaw (accordin tae Köppen climate clessification, Cwa) that closely borders on a semi-arid climate. The average annual temperatur is 19.9 C, the wairmest month is Mey wi a maximum average o 31.7 C, and the coolest month is Januar wi a minimum average temperatur o 7.7 C. Ootside the ceety microclimate island, the ranges tend tae be heicher, wi maximum averages reachin 2 Chigher than in the ceety, an minimum averages lawered bi 3 C or mair. In the veelages locatit in atween the northren muntains the climate chynges; it is considered Cwb accordin tae Köppen climate clessification, the average annual temperatur are aroond 16 C.
Leon averages 681 mm o precipitation annually, which mainly occurs durin the simmer an early hairst (frae late Mey throu October) generally wi thunnerstuirms in the fore-nicht. Thare is uisually a discrepancy about whether Leon's valley is either subhumid or semi-arid. Dependin on the methodology, it can be considered as bein either ane or the ither. Wi Köppen's methodology, thare needs tae be mair nor 678 mm o annual precipitation for Leon tae be considered as humid subtropical; accordin tae several wather stations it mey hae baith (humid subtropical an semiarid) terminologies appleed tae it. The years considered in the study mey be a determinant factor an aw (mair frecuently uised for internaitional purposes is a 30 years data compilation). Years o average rainfaw are rare; the uisual pattern is bimodal, wi some lairge string o dry years uisually relatit tae La Niña phenomenon (slichtly heicher than 300 mm) follaeed bi ither years (aroond 5) relatit tae El Niño that mak up the average (wi heicher than 39 inches/1000 millimetres). Snawfaw is extremely rare. The latest snawfaw recordit in Leon wis in 1997, awtho thare hae been ither years o registered slushy snaw syne 1997.
