Article summary

Solihull ( ) is a market town in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the West Midlands county, England. Solihull is situated on the River Blythe in the Forest of Arden area. The town had a population of 126,577 at the 2021 census, and the wider metropolitan borough had a population of 216,240. The town is located around southeast of Birmingham and west of Coventry.

The town and its borough was part of Warwickshire for most of its history. It has roots dating back to the 1st century BC, and was further formally established during the medieval era. Today the town is famed as, amongst other things, the birthplace of the Land Rover car marque (whose cars are still manufactured at the Solihull plant), home of Solihull Moors FC and the training facilities for the British Equestrian teams. It became part of the West Midlands metropolitan county in 1974.
