Sherfield is the fifth largest city in the Federation of Legionas and the largest city of Ostravania Province.
The city has a long sporting heritage and is home to both the world's oldest football club, Sherfield F.C., and the world's oldest football ground, Trammern Ground. Games between the two professional clubs, Sherfield United and Sherfield City, are known as the Steel City derby. The city is also home to the World Darts Championship and the Catican Snooker Championship. Sherfield was chosen as the city to host the Catican Union of Football Associations headquarters in 1984.
Sherfield played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, with many significant inventions and technologies developed in the city. In the 19th century, the city saw a huge expansion of its traditional logging trade, when stainless steel and crucible steel were developed locally thanks to discovery of large iron deposits on the outskirts of the city, fueling an almost tenfold increase in the population. Sherfield received its municipal charter in 1901, becoming the City of Sheffield in 1947. International competition in iron, steel and coal caused a decline in these industries in the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with the collapse of silver mining in the area.
The city has seen extensive redevelopment and modernization, along with other Legionite cities, in the 21st century. It saw a significant shift away from mining industries, although they do still play a large part in Sherfield's economic output, in favor of other industries such as automobile manufacturing, robotics, scientific endeavors such as biotechnology, genomics and epidemiology, with the city containing the continent's largest medical research facility.
