East Grinstead Town Twinning Association

East Grinstead Town Twinning Association

East Grinstead Town Twinning Association was founded in 1962 and currently fosters twinning relationships with the people of five European towns as well as friendship with our associates in Tramin. 

The word Twinning describes a special relationship between two communities. The Germans call it partnerschaft (partnership), the French word is jumelage. Australia, New Zealand and the USA refer to sister cities. The first recorded modern twinning occurred in 1920 between Poix-du-Nord and Keighley. Gradually people of goodwill and intent sought to make contact and build friendships with other foreign communities to encourage better mutual understanding. By 1962 there were 192 such twinnings. Today there are more than 1,700.
