Horsham /'h?r??m/ is a market town with a population of 55,657 (2008)^{[citation needed]} on the upper reaches of the River Arun in the centre of the Weald, West Sussex, in the historic County of Sussex, England. The town is 31 miles (50 km) south south-west of London, 18.5 miles (30 km) north-west of Brighton and 26 miles (42 km) north-east of the county town of Chichester. Nearby towns include Crawley to the north-east and Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill to the south-east. It is the administrative and market centre of Horsham District Council area.

The first historical record of Horsham is from AD 947. The name either originates from ""Horse Ham"", meaning a place where horses were kept, or ""Horsa's Ham"", named for a Saxon warrior who was granted land in the area.

The town has historically been known for horse trading in early medieval times, iron and brick making up until the 20th century, and brewing more recently.

Horsham is the largest town in the Horsham District Council area. The second, higher, tier of local government is West Sussex County Council, based in Chichester. In addition there are various Parish Councils.

The town is the centre of the parliamentary constituency of Horsham, recreated in 1983. Francis Maude has served as Member of Parliament for Horsham since 1997. Maude is also Minister for the Cabinet Office and HM Paymaster General.^[1]
