Abstract
This chapter examines the history of the impact of port development on demographic change in Portsmouth, England during the period from 1650 to 1900. It explains that between 1650 to 1890, Portsmouth's population grew more than forty-fold, and that this growth was accompanied by a number of problems related to overcrowding, sanitation, water supply, drainage, vice, and poverty. The chapter highlights the dependence of Portsmouth on the naval dockyard for economic growth, and explains that the pervasive Admiralty connection maintained power over Portsmouth's port development and thereby also over its demographic growth.
