Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland. It is on the flood plain of the River Lagan. Most of Belfast is in County Antrim, but parts of East and South Belfast are in County Down.

Historically, Belfast has been a center for the Irish linen industry (earning the nickname "Linenopolis"), tobacco production, rope-making, and shipbuilding: the city's leading shipbuilders, Harland and Wolff, which built the well-known RMS Titanic, propelled Belfast on to the global stage in the early 20th century as the biggest and most productive shipyard in the world. Belfast played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, establishing itself as a global industrial center until the latter half of the 20th century.
