In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Wedgwood like this:
WEDGWOOD, a township in Wolstanton parish, Stafford; near Newcastle-under-Lyne. Real property in 1860, £829. Pop. in 1851, 157; in 1861, 783. Houses, 140. The increase of pop. arose from the extension of the pottery trade, and from the erection of blast furnaces and ironworks.
Wedgwood is now part of STOKE ON TRENT Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how STOKE ON TRENT has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Wedgwood itself, go to Statistics.
