The city of Nottingham, in the English East Midlands, lies on the river Trent. The city has a population of about 270,000, although there are over 600,000 people living in the Greater Nottingham area. It was a county borough until 1974, when it became a district of the administrative county of Nottinghamshire. In 1996, the city of Nottingham became a unitary authority.
The modern Jewish community was founded in the early 1800's, although there had been a community in medieval times. In 1986, the closure of the synagogue in Derby increased membership of Nottingham's synagogues.
