The name Utrecht comes from the Latin Traiectum - the name of the Roman fortress at the river crossing.

In 695 Pope Saint Willibrord became bishop of the Frisians. This date is considered the moment of the founding of the Bishopric of Utrecht.
In 723, the Frankish king Charles Martell gave the bishop the fortress of Utrecht and the surrounding lands. Since then, Utrecht has become one of the most influential centers of power of the Catholic Church in the Netherlands.

The bishops of Utrecht were also secular rulers as prince-bishops. The history of the diocese consists mainly of almost continuous conflicts with the counts of Holland and the dukes of Guelders.

Its location on the banks of the Rhine helped Utrecht become an important trading center.
On June 2, 1122, Emperor Schönrich V granted Utrecht city rights.
The movement of the main channel of the Rhine to the south led to the construction of canals and inland city ports.

In 1528, the bishop ceded his temporal power to Emperor Charles V and remained only the religious head. Charles V united the Seventeen Provinces into a personal union and Utrecht became a small part of a larger political entity.

In 1579, seven northern provinces signed the Union of Utrecht against Spanish rule.
In 1580, all bishoprics of the new state were abolished, including the archbishopric of Utrecht.
The city was made dependent on the government of the province of Holland, which led to a decline in trade.

In 1713, the Treaty of Utrecht, which ended the War of the Spanish Succession, became one of the first international peace negotiations.

In 1853, the Dutch government allowed Rome to restore the Bishopric of Utrecht.
