A county in the East Midlands of England, known for its association with the Robin Hood legend. Its county town is Nottingham.
From Old English Snotingahamscir, meaning 'shire of the people of Snot's homestead'. Snot was likely a Saxon leader, and 'ham' meant homestead or village in Old English.
Nottinghamshire is famous as the legendary home of Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest, though historically Robin Hood is likely a composite of several real outlaws. The county also gave birth to the industrial revolution's textile industry, with its numerous mills powered by the River Trent.
