East Sussex is part of the ancient kingdom of the South Saxons, who established themselves there in the 5th century AD, after the departure
of the Romans, although the area had been populated for many thousands of years before then. Archaeological remains are plentiful, especially
in the upland areas. The area's position on the coast has also meant that there were many invaders, including the Romans and later the
Normans. Earlier industries have included fishing, iron-making, and the wool trade, all of which have declined, or lost completely.
In more modern times, Sussex has become popular with tourists, so that the main towns have become seaside resorts.
