Maryport is a coastal town in Cumbria, northwestern England, with a rich history dating back to Roman times. Originally established as the Roman fort of Alauna, the town has preserved significant archaeological remains from this period.
The modern town was developed in the 18th century as a planned settlement by Humphrey Senhouse, who named it after his wife Mary. Maryport's maritime heritage is reflected in its historic harbor, which played an important role during the Industrial Revolution as a port for coal and steel exports.
The town's cultural landscape is shaped by its Roman history, maritime heritage, and industrial past, with several museums and historical sites documenting these different periods. The Senhouse Roman Museum, housed in a Victorian Naval Reserve building, contains one of the largest collections of Roman military altar stones and inscriptions from any site in Britain.
