Belfast (BT) Area Overview
The BT postcode area, also known as the Belfast postcode area, covers all addresses in Northern Ireland.
Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland and has a complex and storied history. Originally a small settlement, it grew substantially during the 17th century when English and Scottish settlers arrived, leading to the city's expansion. Belfast's shipbuilding industry, notably the Harland and Wolff shipyard, became renowned worldwide, culminating in the construction of the RMS Titanic. The city played a pivotal role in the industrialization of Ireland.
However, Belfast's history also includes periods of conflict and tension, most notably during The Troubles, a prolonged conflict from the late 20th century. Despite this, Belfast has made significant strides toward peace and reconciliation, with the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 marking a turning point.
Antrim dates human habitation back to prehistoric times and was originally a medieval settlement known for its castle, Antrim Castle which was built in the 17th century and played a significant part in the town's history.
Newry can trace its history back to ancient Celtic times and was granted a royal charter in 1157 allowing it to hold markets and fairs. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Newry's economy prospered with the growth of linen manufacturing, shipbuilding, and trade along the Newry Canal.
