Info
Cottonopolis denotes a metropolis centred on cotton trading servicing the cotton mills in its hinterland. It was inspired by Manchester, in England, and its status as the international centre of the cotton and textile trade during the 19th century. More recently it has become a sobriquet applied solely to the city of Manchester because of its large number of textile factories.
