The area around the church was probably the site of the original medieval village.

The original village lies on the west bank of river.

Before the early part of the 18th century, the original village was located behind the church.

The original village was established in 1702 and became a city on 19 January 1718.

The original village had 20 houses, probably supporting a population of about 100 people.

By 1899, only one family was left in the original village.

So, as time went on, they finally decided to burn down the original village and create a new one north of the church.

Little remains of the original village, which in the 1960s was small and remote.

There was no change in the boundaries of the original village.

There was also building of new middle class housing in and around the original village at the same time.
