In Mataró, in 1910( nineteen hundred
ten) , there were 19,918 (nineteen thousand nine hundred eighteen)
inhabitants and currently there are 126,988 (one hundred
twenty-six thousand nine hundred eighty-eight) inhabitants.
The area of Mataro is 22,53 (twenty two point fifty three) square
kilometers.
Mataró was born around eighty before christ, when the Roman
city of Iluro was founded. It was built on a small elevation on
the coastal plain, where today we find the old town.
Iluro became one of the most important cities in Roman
Catalonia until the Roman Empire fell into decline in the 3rd
century AD and practically abandoned it.
The most famous Indian from Mataró was Miquel Biada, who
brought the first railway line of the Iberian Peninsula to the
city. The earliest textile and knitwear factories took advantage
of this and Mataró became one of the most important
industrial cities in the country.
