In 2004, the local government district had an estimated population of 239,100; the wider Urban Area had a population of 251,462, which makes it the 13th largest city in England. Historically a part of Staffordshire, and forming part of the metropolitan county of the West Midlands from 1974, the city is commonly recognised as being named after Lady Wulfruna, who founded the town in 985: its name coming from Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn = "Wulfrūn's high or principal enclosure or farm".

In 2004, the local government district had an estimated population of 239,100; the wider Urban Area had a population of 251,462, which makes it the 13th largest city in England. Historically a part of Staffordshire, and forming part of the metropolitan county of the West Midlands from 1974, the city is commonly recognised as being named after Lady Wulfruna, who founded the town in 985: its name coming from Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn = "Wulfrūn's high or principal enclosure or farm". Alternatively, the city may have earned its original name from a local Danish leader who was called Wulfere. Nevertheless, the name Wulfruna is commonly used in the city - for example, for the Wulfrun Centre or for Wulfrun Hall. The city's name is often abbreviated to "W'ton" or "Wolves". The city council's motto is "Out of darkness, cometh light". People from Wolverhampton are known as Wulfrunians. The city grew initially as a market town with specialism within the woollen trade. During and after the Industrial Revolution, the city became a major industrial centre, with mining as well as production of steel, japanning, locks, motorcycles and cars - including the first vehicle to hold the Land speed record at over 200mph. Today, the major industries within the city are both engineering based and within the service sector. (en)

Miasto leży na północny-zachód od Birmingham i jest drugim co do wielkości w konurbacji West Midlands, z liczbą ludności 240 tys (2004). Zachodnie dzielnice miasta, jak Bilston czy Heath Town leżą w okręgu tradycyjnie nazywanym Black Country. Miasto położone jest na Płaskowyżu Midland, na średniej wysokości 120 m n.p.m. Przez miasto nie przepływają duże rzeki, jednakże swoje źródła mają tu Penk River, River Tame oraz Smestow Brook, dopływ River Stour. Oznacza to, że miasto leży na granicy jednego z największych angielskich działów wodnych. Powszechnie uważa się, że miasto zostało nazwane na cześć Lady Wulfruny, która założyła je w 985 r. Nazwa pochodzi od Anglo-Saskiego Wulfrūnehēantūnco oznaczającego "najważniejsza zagroda lub farma". Nazwa miasta jest często skracana do “W-ton” lub “Wolves”, a przez wielu mieszkańców także do “Wolvo”. Początkowo, miasto rozwijało się jako miejscowość targowa, specjalizująca się w handlu wełną. Po rewolucji przemysłowej, miasto stało się jednym z ważniejszych centrów przemysłowych: wydobywczego i produkcyjnego (stal, zamki, motocykle i samochody – tu powstał pierwszy na świecie pojazd, który zdobył lądowy rekord prędkości (ponad 320 km/h). Obecnie najważniejszymi sektorami przemysłowymi w mieście są inżynieria i usługi. (pl)
