Windsor is first mentioned in mediaeval literature. The name originates from Winch-furnished-Riverbank, or Windlesore, and was originally given to what is now called Old Windsor, a royal manor since Edward the Confessor's time. Soon after 1066 William the Conqueror selected a chalk outcrop on land owned by the manor of Clewer (west of Windsor) as the location for a defensive motte and bailey castle. The royal court transferred from Old Windsor to New Windsor around 1110 during Henry I's reign. The town gained the right to hold a market by 1261 (which is a sign of its status and royal patronage) and was granted borough status by Edward I's charter of 1277. The borough was one of those reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 and retained its status until the Local Government Act 1972 came into force in 1974, merging the borough with other units to form the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Windsor is a popular tourist destination and location of Windsor Castle, one of the official residences of the British royal family. The castle was originally established by King William I of England but has been substantially altered and added to over the centuries. As a result of the royal residence Windsor has facilities usually found in larger towns: two railway stations, a theatre and several substantial hotels. The town is also the location of Legoland, built on the site of Windsor Safari Park. On construction, several tons of hippo dung had to be removed from the enclosure used by the animals.
