Cornwall is a county in South West England on the peninsula that lies to the west of the River Tamar.
The administrative centre and only city is Truro, while the historic capitals are Launceston and then Bodmin. Including the Isles of Scilly, located 28 miles (45 km) offshore, Cornwall covers an area of 1,376 square miles (3,563 km˛). There is a population of 513,527, with a population density of 144 people per square kilometre, or 373 per square
mile. Tourism forms a significant part of the local economy. However, Cornwall is the poorest area in the United Kingdom with the lowest contribution to the national
economy (just behind the Highlands and Island of Scotland and West Wales and the Valleys). Cornwall is the only area in the south of England to qualify for Objective One funding (GDP per capita for the region must be below 75% of the EU average).
Cornwall is one of the six historic "Celtic nations" and some people question the present constitutional status of Cornwall, choosing to refer to it as a Duchy which is separate from England. The Cornish language gradually died out as a spoken language during the 18th century, and by the mid 19th century was effectively extinct. However, there have been some attempts to revive it in more recent times.
