ROMANSHORN

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 583 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROMANSHORN , an important commercial town in the Swiss
canton
  of
Thurgau
 . It is situated on the west shore of the lake of Constance, and by rail is 511 M. N.E. of Zurich, 121 M. S.E. of Constance, and 10 m. N.W. of Rorschach. In 1900 its
population
  was 4577, mostly German-speaking, while there were 3093 Protestants to 1478 Romanists. Originally a small fishing
village
 , it belonged to the abbot of St
Gall
  from 1432 to 1798, when it became
part
  of the
canton
  of
Thurgau
 . In 1856 the railway from Romanshorn to Zurich was opened, and this vastly increased the commercial importance of Romanshorn. Nowadays it is the centre of a
great
  transit
trade
 , as it communicates, by means of the lake, with the
principal
  towns on its shores. The corn
trade
  and that in timber are among 'the most important, while there are many industrial establishments. It is essentially a modern commercial centre.
