Lille was born as a small village founded by the Flemish in 1030. By the end of 11th century it had become an urban and trade center, major fortress of the north fortified by the Count Baldwin IV of Flanders. Since then textile production was started in the city to become, till nowadays, its main industry branch. Along the centuries the town has been under siege for more than 11 times to pass from the hands of Flemish, to French and even Spanish and Austrian. Though its original name is Flemish, the French designation comes from "l'ile" or "the island", as it was first located on an island in the river Deule. Under the rule of Louis XIV the city came to be dominated by France and was turned into one of the most brilliant demonstration of glory and wealth from the golden period of French monarchy. After becoming Flemish again, the city was finally restored to France by the Utrecht Peace Treaty from 1713.
