About Stevenage - Hertfordshire
Information about Stevenage - Hertfordshire:
Stevenage, dating back at least 2000 years, prospered beside the Great North Road (A1).
Until the end of World War II Stevenage remained a quiet country town but in 1946 it was designated as Britain's first 'New Town'
The New Towns were proposed to relieve London's post-war housing problems and overcrowding and incorporated industrial development so that the towns did not simply become domitory suburbs of the capital.
Stevenage developed as six self-contained residential neighbourhoods arranged around the original town. Now called 'Stevenage Old Town', this original part has retained a village feel and has many historic buildings, coaching inns and pubs.
The modern Town Square has many interesting examples of post-War architecture and is now designated a conservation area. The Stevenage Museum, near the centre of the new town, illustrates the facinating history of the town.
Stevenage's pedestrianised town centre was the first traffic free shopping zone in Britain and today major retailers can be found both in the town centre and the adjacent Westgate Centre.
The town has good leisure and entertainment facilities and the Fairlands Valley Park, running through the centre of the town is a good spot for walks and picnics. The renowned contemporary art gallery, Boxfield Gallery, is also located in the town.
Following the opening of the A1(M) bypass in 1962, the Great North Road no longer runs through the town.
Place-name meaning
Stevenage may derive from Old English stiþen āc / stiōen āc / stithen ac (various Old English dialects cited here) meaning '(place at) the strong oak'.
The name was recorded as Stithenæce, c.1060 and Stigenace in 1086 in the Domesday Book.
