Bristol is the largest centre of culture, employment and education in the region. Its prosperity has been linked with the sea since its earliest days. The commercial Port of Bristol was originally in the city centre before being moved to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth; Royal Portbury Dock is on the western edge of the city boundary. In more recent years the economy has depended on the creative media, electronics and aerospace industries, and the city centre docks have been regenerated as a centre of heritage and culture.There are 34 other populated places named Bristol, most in the United States, but also in Peru, Canada, Jamaica, Barbados,and Costa Rica, all presumably commemorating the original. People from Bristol are termed Bristolians.
