Gibraltar regained city status

Researchers checked the National Archives and found that Gibraltar was already recognized as a city in 1842.

The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is officially to become a city again, 180 years after Queen Victoria first granted it that status. On Monday, August 29, the BBC reports.

The British Overseas Territory previously applied for city status as part of Britain’s celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.

But when researchers revisited the National Archives, they found that Gibraltar had already been recognized as a city in 1842.

The government says Gibraltar was removed from the official lists after it was first granted the status by Queen Victoria, but it is not clear how this happened. It was once again granted city status.

This status does not bring any additional material benefits, although it can often contribute to the development of communities, putting them on the map, and is a source of pride for residents.

Gibraltar is one of five recognized cities outside of Britain. Hamilton in Bermuda, Jamestown in Saint Helena and Douglas in the Isle of Man are already on the list, while Stanley in the Falklands is among those named for this year’s anniversary.

Gibraltar has been a British Overseas Territory since 1713, when it was ceded to Britain in a peace treaty signed after the War of the Spanish Succession.

It will be recalled that Britain and Spain agreed on the status of Gibraltar after the United Kingdom left the European Union.

London was angered by the term “colony” used by the EU for Gibraltar
