The history of Stroud dates back to the thirteenth century. Surrounded by beautiful Stroudwater Hills in the Stroud Valley of South Cotswolds, this bustling town was once a key hub for the cloth industry. Weaving started here during the medieval period and became a key industry by the nineteenth century. By 1600s, Stroud had a fair and market and had grown a great deal in size. Historically, the economy of the town was based on the clothing industry, but that declined later and has been replaced by tourism in recent times.
