150 Years of Luton, generations of Black history, one shared sense of belonging

As Luton celebrates 150 years since gaining borough status in 1876, we have a unique opportunity to reflect not only on our town's rich history but also on the many communities and cultures that have helped shape the Luton we know today. Luton became a municipal borough in 1876, marking an important milestone in its civic development and self-governance.
