The United Kingdom, with 43,532 Somalia-born residents in 2001,[77] and an estimated 101,000 in 2008,[78] is home to the largest Somali community in Europe. A 2009 estimate by Somali community organisations puts the Somali population figure at 90,000 residents.[79] Although most Somalis in the UK are recent arrivals, the first Somali immigrants were seamen and traders who arrived and settled in port cities in the late 19th century.[79] Established Somali communities are found in Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool and London, and newer ones have formed in Leicester, Manchester and Sheffield.[80][81] It has been estimated that between 7,000 and 9,000 Somalis live in Liverpool.[82][83]
