With a population of 1,520,968 (as of 31 December 2018), it is the most populous canton in the country. Its capital is the city of Zürich. The official language is German. The local Swiss German dialect, called<br>Züritüütsch<br>, is commonly spoken. In English the name of the canton and its capital is often written without an umlaut.<br>Early history<br>The prehistoric pile dwellings around Zürichsee comprise 11 of total 56 prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps in Switzerland, that are located around Lake Zürich in the cantons of Schwyz, St. Gallen and Zürich. Located on the shore of Lake Zürich, there are Freienbach-Hurden Rosshorn, Freienbach-Hurden Seefeld, Rapperswil-Jona/Hombrechtikon-Feldbach, Rapperswil-Jona-Technikum, Erlenbach-Winkel, Meilen-Rorenhaab, Wädenswil-Vorder Au, Zürich-Enge Alpenquai, Grosser Hafner and Kleiner Hafner. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). Also on the small area of about 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) around Zürichsee, there also the settlements Greifensee-Storen/Wildsberg on<br>Greifensee<br>and Wetzikon-Robenhausen on<br>Pfäffikersee<br>lakeshore. As well as being part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, each of these 11 prehistoric pile dwellings is also listed as a<br>Class object<br>in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance.<br>Zurihgauuia<br>(<br>Zürichgau<br>) was a subdivision of<br>Turgowe<br>(Thurgau) in the Duchy of Alamannia, consisting roughly of the territory between Reuss and Töss. From the 740s, substantial portions of Zürichgau were owned by the Abbey of St. Gall. In c. 760, an administrative re-organisation under counts Ruthard and Warin exempted the castle town of Zürich from comital rule. A county of Zürichgau was established under Louis the Pious, for a count Ruadker, in 820. Zürichgau (<br>Zurichgeuue<br>) remained a nominally separate territory in the later 9th century but was often ruled by the same count as Thurgau. In 915, Zürichgau together with Thurgau fell to the Bucharding dukes of Swabia. In the late 10th century, the county of Zürich was ruled by the Nellenburger, and during 1077-1172 by the Lenzburger. By the 13th century, Zürichgau was divided between the Habsburgs and the Kyburger, who held the territory west and east of Lake Zürich, respectively.<br>City state<br>The territory of the canton of Zürich corresponds to the lands acquired by the city of Zürich after it became<br>reichsfrei<br>in 1218. Zürich pursued a policy of aggressive territorial expansion especially during the century following the revolution of the guilds in 1336. Zürich joined the Swiss Confederacy in 1351.<br>Zürich claimed and lost the Toggenburg in the Old Zürich War of the 1440s. The northern parts up to the river Rhine came to the canton after the city of Zürich purchased Winterthur from the Habsburgs in 1468. In 1651, Zürich purchased Rafzerfeld from the counts of Sulz. At this point, almost all of the territory of the modern canton (as well as some territories beyond its modern borders) was owned by Zürich; exceptions include Wülflingen (acquired 1760), Buch (acquired 1761), Dietikon, which was a condominium, and Rheinau (owned by Rheinau Abbey).<br>In the 18th century, the "inner bailiwicks" (<br>Innere Vogteien<br>) were under direct administration of city officials, while the "outer bailiwicks" (<br>Äussere Vogteien<br>) were ruled by the reeves of Kyburg, Grüningen, Greifensee, Eglisau, Regensberg, Andelfingen, Wädenswil, and Knonau. The city of Winterthur was nominally subject to Zürich but retained far-reaching autonomy.<br>Zürichgau<br>, the name of the medieval<br>pagus<br>, was in use for the territories
