Origen e historia

From Late Latin 'localis' meaning 'belonging to a place', from Latin 'locus' (a place). The same root gives us 'locate', 'location', 'locomotive' (moving from place to place), and 'allocate' (assign to a place). The British pub sense of 'my local' dates from the mid-20th century.
