The '''Pas-de-Calais''' ({{IPA|fr|pɑ d(ə) kalɛ|lang|Fr-Paris--Pas-de-Calais.ogg}}, "[[strait]] of [[Calais]]"; {{lang-pcd|Pas-Calés}}; {{lang-nl|Nauw van Calais}}) is a [[departments of France|department]] in north-eastern [[France]] named after the [[French language|French]] designation of the [[Strait of Dover]], which it borders. It has the most [[communes of the Pas-de-Calais department|communes]] of all the departments of France, with [[communes of the Pas-de-Calais department|890]], and is the 8th most populous. It had a population of 1,465,278 in 2019.<ref name=pop2019>[https://www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/fichier/6011060/dep62.pdf Populations légales 2019: 62 Pas-de-Calais], INSEE</ref> The '''Calais Passage''' connects to the [[Port of Calais]] on the [[English Channel]]. The Pas-de-Calais borders the departments of [[Nord (French department)|Nord]] and [[Somme (department)|Somme]] and is connected to the English [[Counties of England|county]] of [[Kent]] via the [[Channel Tunnel]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Jackson|first=Mark|date=2021-09-01|title=Colt and Getlink to Deploy New Fibre Optic Network via Channel Tunnel|url=https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2021/09/colt-and-getlink-to-deploy-new-fibre-optic-network-via-channel-tunnel.html|access-date=2021-09-12|website=ISPreview UK|language=en}}</ref>

==History==
Inhabited since prehistoric times, the Pas-de-Calais region was populated in turn by the Celtic [[Belgae]], the [[Ancient Rome|Romans]], the [[Germanic peoples|Germanic]] [[Franks]] and the [[Alemanni]]. During the fourth and fifth centuries, the Roman practice of co-opting Germanic tribes to provide military and defence services along the route from [[Boulogne-sur-Mer]] to [[Cologne]] created a [[Germanic languages|Germanic]]-[[Romance languages|Romance]] linguistic border in the region that persisted until the eighth century.

[[Saxons|Saxon]] colonization into the region from the fifth to the eighth centuries likely extended the linguistic border somewhat south and west so that by the ninth century most inhabitants north of the line between [[Béthune]] and [[Berck]] spoke a dialect of [[Middle Dutch]], while the inhabitants to the south spoke [[Picard language|Picard]], a variety of [[Romance languages|Romance dialects]].

This linguistic border is still evident today in the [[toponyms]] and [[patronyms]] of the region. Beginning in the ninth century, the linguistic border began a steady move to north and the east, and by the end of the 15th century Romance dialects had completely displaced those of [[Dutch language|Dutch]].

Pas-de-Calais is one of the original 83 departments created during the [[French Revolution]] on 4 March 1790. It was created from parts of the [[provinces of France|former provinces]] of [[Calaisis]], formerly English, [[Boulonnais (land area)|Boulonnais]], [[Ponthieu]] and [[Artois]], this last formerly part of the [[Spanish Netherlands]].

Some of the costliest battles of [[World War I]] were fought in the region. The [[Canadian National Vimy Memorial]], eight kilometres from [[Arras]], commemorates the [[Battle of Vimy Ridge]] assault during the [[Battle of Arras (1917)]] and is [[Canada]]'s most important memorial in Europe to its fallen soldiers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.greatwar.co.uk/french-flanders-artois/memorial-canadian-national-vimy-memorial.htm |title=Canadian National Vimy Memorial, France |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2015 |website=The Great War UK |access-date=31 March 2017 |quote=The ridge runs in a direction from Givenchy-en-Gohelle in the north-west to Farbus in the south-east.}}</ref>

Pas-de-Calais was also the target of [[Operation Fortitude]] during [[World War II]], which was an [[Allies of World War II|Allied]] plan to deceive [[Oberkommando der Wehrmacht|the Germans]] that the [[Operation Overlord|invasion of Europe]] at D-Day was to occur here, rather than in [[Normandy]].<ref>{{cite book

==Economy==
The economy of the department was long dependent on [[mining]], primarily the [[Coal mining|coal mine]]s near the town of  [[Lens, Pas-de-Calais]] where coal was discovered in 1849.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.villedelens.fr/histoire/lhistoire-de-lens/la-decouverte-du-charbon.html|title=Discovery of Coal|publisher=Ville de Lens|access-date=1 August 2015|archive-date=21 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180321130449/http://www.villedelens.fr/histoire/lhistoire-de-lens/la-decouverte-du-charbon.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> However, since [[World War II]], the economy has become more diversified.

==Demographics==
The inhabitants of the department are called ''Pas-de-Calaisiens''.

Pas-de-Calais is one of the most densely populated departments of France, but has no cities with over 100,000 residents: Calais has about 73,000 inhabitants. The remaining population is primarily concentrated along the border with the department of Nord in the mining district, where a string of small towns constitutes an urban area with a population of about 1.2 million. The centre and south of the department are more rural, but still quite heavily populated, with many villages and small towns.

Although the department saw some of the heaviest fighting of [[World War I]], its population rebounded quickly after both world wars. However, many of the mining towns have seen dramatic decreases in population, some up to half of their population.

Population development since 1801:
