Ealing is one of the seven major towns in the London Borough of Ealing. A rural village until communications with London got better with the improvements to the road to Oxford (later Uxbridge Road) in the 18th century and culminating with the coming of the railway in 1838. Ealing expanded greatly with suburban development during the 19th century and became known as the "Queen of the Suburbs" due to its greenery and because it was halfway between city and country. Ealing became a municipal borough in 1901. Growth continued throughout the 20th century and Ealing became part of a modern London borough in 1965.
