Stevenage, New town in Hertfordshire, England
The town stretches across 26 square kilometers of land, featuring designated residential zones, commercial areas, and industrial districts north of London.
Stevenage received its market charter in 1281 and transformed from a medieval trading post into Britain's first designated new town in 1946.
The old town section maintains its historical character with a 12th-century church, Tudor-style buildings, and a grammar school from the 16th century.
The central shopping district provides a vehicle-free environment with direct connections to London through the Great Northern Railway and A1 motorway.
The town's name originates from Old English terms referring to a stiff oak tree, with the earliest written record dating to approximately 1060.
