Town Twinning
Town Twinning was developed mainly after the Second World War
to promote mutual understanding and friendship.
Harrogate Borough Council has been twinned with Luchon in
South West France since 1952.
Originally developed as a way for promoting bilingualism by
linking the spa towns, the twinning extended to
tourism/educational/sporting and leisure activities.
Harrogate also has sister-city relationships with Wellington,
New Zealand and Harrogate, Tennessee.
