Chester is a historic town. When the Romans were in Britain, the town was called Deva, named after the River Dee. In those days, Deva was a major port with a massive harbor. The Romans built walls around the city, and the two miles that still circle the city are mostly the original stone walls. In the Dark Ages, the Vikings trashed Deva and by 900A.D., it was delelict.
