Rainham
Rainham belongs of the Medway Towns urban sprawl its population usually included under Gillingham in the unitary authority of Medway, in South East England, and part of the ceremonial area of Kent. Historically, Rainham was a separate town until, in 1928, it was included in the Metropolitan District of Gillingham, which was originally created in 1903 as well as was grouped right into the latter's built-up area in analysis of the 2011 census by the Office for National Statistics. It became part of the Medway authority when Gillingham was included with the various other towns to form Medway Unitary Authority in 1998. It has its very own leisure and retail hub and also unlike Gillingham has a standard area generally to the south as well as which given that the late 20th century is largely household housing. Rainham was initially a straight settlement along the main road. The population in 1801 was 422; two centuries later it is well over 6 thousand. Part of the reason for this substantial development can be attributed to the railway. When the train came in 1858 it brought a practically prompt rise in the size of the village; when the Chatham Main Line was electrified in 1959, similar to all the locations served by it, community development began again. Among the outcomes was the structure of Parkwood estate.
