Geneva's History
Archaeology confirms Geneva has been inhabited for the past 12,000 years. It was a border post of the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. Later the town was dominated by the princes of Savoy until its destiny was reversed by the proclamation of the Reformation and of the Republic in the 16th century.
During the 18th century, the city developed into a centre for banking, watch-making and enamel, as well as a capital of science and printing.
In 1815, the canton joined the Swiss Confederation. The transformation of this city - 25,000 at the start of the 19th century - went hand-in-hand with the modernisation of the hotel trade.
Henry Dunant created the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva in 1864.
After the First World War the city became the headquarters of the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations and many other international organisations.
