Where do English Setters come from?

English Setters are from England. English Setters, as we know them, were bred as hunting dogs in the 19th century, though their roots can be traced back to the 16th century. Their name comes from their ability to locate game birds by “setting” or crouching low. English Setters are part of the family of Setters, which also includes Irish, Irish Red-and-White, and Gordon Setters.
