ABOUT Maidstone

Maidstone, also known as the Garden of England is a large county town of the Kent with a population of around 107,627 according to 2011 census. The Medway River flows in the west-east direction connect the town to the Thames Estuary and Rochester and passes through the centre of the town.  The town served as an agricultural county of Kent. The history of the city found its root back before the Stone Age.  The town was affected by the Second World War, and the heavy industries were replaced by light industries and services. It has been suggested that the name of the town is derived from medestan, meaning stone of the people or stone of the maidens.
