English local history
Local history is the study of the history of a relatively small geographic area; typically a specific settlement, parish or county. Local history came to the fore with the antiquarians of the nineteenth century and was particularly emphasised by the creation of the Victoria County History series in England. Its establishment as a formal academic discipline is usually credited to W. G. Hoskins who also popularised the subject with his book The Making of the English Landscape.
