The town is known to have a Danish connection in its foundation as a Danish fisherman is responsible for its foundation, as reported by a local myth. Grimsby is fairly populated town and the local population is reported around 90,000 by some statistics. The town is fortunate enough to have the proximity of the River Freshney which passes through the surrounding area of this charming town.
The sea fishing industry of Grimsby has been flourishing for almost hundred years, thanks to the initiatives taken by the local authorities to facilitate the local fishermen. The town generates most of its revenue from fishery and once in its peak time it was known to be one of the busiest fishing ports on this planet. More than 500 food-associated brands are working in Grimsby which is a very rare presence of so many companies in just a small town. For these reasons the local government has taken the right step by introducing the town as Europe's Food Town in the media.
The town offers something for everyone and Pleasure Island Theme Park is just one example. The whole family can spend some very high quality time in this very well organized park. There are a range of activities that are planned to engage all age-groups and some special arrangements are made for the highly energetic kids.
