Maxton, Kent was once a rural parish to the west of Dover, and the terminus of the tramway system serving the town until its closure in 1938. Maxton is now a suburb of Dover.
Kent is a county in England, south-east of London.
The modern name Kent is derived from the Brythonic word Cantus meaning a rim or border, being applied as a name to the eastern part of the modern county, and meaning border land or coastal district.
Kent is sometimes known as the Garden of England because of its agricultural influence, extensive orchards and hop-gardens.
