Sussex's natural resources have been used for thousands of years. The South Downs includes some of Britain's earliest mines, including Church Hill, Findon which dates from around 4200BC. [9] while the Sussex Weald was historically the centre of England's iron industry, using iron ore in the form of siderite. The Wealden iron industry was established before the Roman invasion and was superseded in the 18th century by coal areas of Wales and northern England. There remains a long-established deep-mining operation centred on the High Weald village of Brightling, the country's largest resource of calcium sulphate or gypsum. [10] Used primarily to make plaster, plasterboard and cement, gypsum has been excavated in the area since the 1880s. [10] Lowland Calcareous Grassland Habitat Action Plan".

The earliest-known usage of the term South Saxons (Latin: Australes Saxones) is in a royal charter of 689 which names them and their king, Noðhelm, although the term may well have been in use for some time before that. The monastic chronicler who wrote up the entry classifying the invasion seems to have got his dates wrong; recent scholars have suggested he might have been a quarter of a century too late.

The Prebendal School in Chichester is the oldest known school in Sussex [96] and probably dates to when the Normans moved the Sussex bishopric from Selsey to Chichester Cathedral in the 11th century. [96] Primary and secondary education in the state sector in Sussex is provided by its three local education authorities of East and West Sussex County Councils and Brighton and Hove City Council. Sussex also has some of the best-known independent schools in England including Christ's Hospital School, Brighton College, Eastbourne College, Lancing College and Battle Abbey School.

Sussex is a historic county and cultural region in the south of England corresponding roughly in area to the ancient Kingdom of Sussex. It is bounded on the north by Surrey, north-east by Kent, south by the English Channel, and west by Hampshire, and is divided for local government into West Sussex and East Sussex and the city of Brighton and Hove. The city of Brighton & Hove was created a unitary authority in 1997, and was granted City status in 2000. Until then Chichester had been Sussex's only city. By convention, Chichester is Sussex's capital city and Lewes is Sussex's county town. [3] [4] Amongst top-tier local authorities, East and West Sussex County Councils are both held by the Conservatives and Brighton and Hove City Council is led by Labour. Amongst district councils, as of June 2023, the Lib Dems had a majority in three local authorities ( Chichester, Eastbourne and Horsham), the Labour Party had a majority in two local authorities ( Crawley and Worthing) and the Conservative Party had a majority in one local authority ( Adur). Of the six local authorities in no overall control, one had a minority Labour administration ( Hastings), one was run by a Lib Dem-Labour-Green coalition ( Arun), one was run by a Green-Labour coalition ( Lewes), one as run by a Lib Dem-Independent coalition ( Mid Sussex) one was run by an Independent-Lib Dem-Green coalition ( Rother) and one had a Lib Dem-Green coalition ( Wealden).
