Dartford, Local government district in Kent, England
The Borough of Dartford extends along the south bank of the River Thames, encompassing residential areas, commercial districts, and rural sections near the North Downs.
The district's establishment traces back to 1814 with a body of improvement commissioners, later transforming into a local board district in 1850 and gaining borough status in 1977.
The district maintains multiple community centers and libraries where residents participate in educational programs, local art exhibitions, and traditional Kent regional celebrations.
Seven railway stations within the borough, including Dartford and Ebbsfleet International, connect residents to London and other major destinations throughout Kent.
The district contains Bluewater, among England's largest retail centers, while preserving natural spaces and chalk quarries that reflect its industrial heritage.
