'''El Prat de Llobregat''' ({{IPA-ca|əɫ ˈpɾad də ʎuβɾəˈɣat}}), commonly kent as '''El Prat''' {{IPA-ca|əɫ ˈpɾat|}}, is a [[municipality]] in the [[Comarques o Catalonie|''comarca'']] o [[Baix Llobregat]] in
[[Catalonie]], [[Spain]]. It is situatit in the [[Llobregat Delta|delta]] o the [[Llobregat]] river on the richt bank, borderin the coast o the [[Mediterranean Sea]] atween [[Barcelona]] an [[Viladecans]]. Mair than a quairter o the aurie o the [[municipality]] is occupee'd bi [[Barcelona-El Prat Airport]]. Apairt frae the transport links tae the [[airport]], the toun o El Prat is servit bi a railwey station on the coast line frae [[Barcelona]] to [[Valencia, Spain|Valencia]]. The municipality haes a beach an a smaw natur reserve at the ''Llac'' (Loch) ''de la Ricarda i del Remolar''. El Prat is famous for its blue-leggit chickens (kent as ''gall potablava'' in Catalan).
== History ==
El Prat was founded between the years 1720 and 1740, when the town started to grow besides a path crossing. The first buildings to appear were the church (dedicated to [[St. Peter]] and [[Paul the Apostle|St. Paul]]), the hostel (which served as a school, bakery, and obviously as a hostel), and some other houses built by the farmers of the delta, who came to the church to pray.
After this, the installation of a ferry to cross the river and, later, the construction of the Ferran Puig bridge, the arrival of the railroad and the discovery of underground water improved the communication of El Prat and consequently doubled its population. In 1917, the installation on the town of La Papelera Espanola, a factory producing paper and derivatives, started the industrial years of El Prat.
Next, in 1923, three private aerodromes started operations in El Prat, due to the flat terrain of the municipality. That was the beginning of the connection between El Prat and the world of aviation, that would end up creating [[Barcelona-El Prat Airport]] after the unification of the three aerodromes in 1948.
In 1926, another company, this time of the textile sector, called "La Seda de Barcelona", built a factory in the town. That caused the final spurt of growth of El Prat. With the immigration of people from the south of Spain (mostly [[Andalusia]] and [[Extremadura]]), the town almost doubled in size by 1930, and again by 1950, and then increased its size threefold in 1970 with the creation of the neighborhoods of Sant Cosme, Sant Jordi and La Granja, built to be the home of these immigrants. Finally, with the next expansion, the population doubled in size once again, although has now reached a period of stability.
