Maidstone was established as a settlement primarily due to its strategic location along the River Medway, which facilitated trade and transportation. Its development as a market town in the medieval period was further bolstered by its role as a center for agriculture and commerce. The town’s proximity to London also contributed to its growth, making it an important hub for goods and services. Over time, Maidstone evolved into a significant administrative and cultural center in Kent.
