Glouster vs. Gloucester: Clearing Up the Confusion

There is no place in England called "Glouster." The correct spelling is Gloucester—a historic city and county town in Gloucestershire, southwestern England.

Why the Misspelling Happens

The missing 'c' is a common error because the pronunciation (GLOSS-ter) doesn't obviously reflect the spelling. The name derives from Old English Gleawecestre, meaning "Roman fort on the River Severn."
