Horwich (pronounced "Horrich") is a town in Greater Manchester, England, originally within Lancashire. It lies at the foot of the West Pennine Moors, half way between Bolton and Chorley, and is a civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 18,289.
The landscape of the area is dominated by Winter Hill, Rivington Pike and the West Pennine Moors. It was once the site of the locomotive works of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. In 1891 the population was 12,850.
Bolton Wanderers moved from Bolton to Horwich following the completion of the Reebok Stadium and the rest of the Middlebrook retail park complex in 1997. This followed the move of Horwich Railway Mechanics Institute Football Club (the longest name in English football) from Horwich in the summer of 1995 to nearby Leigh and life began the 1995/6 season as Leigh RMI.
