Chatham is the name of an English town that developed around an important naval dockyard on the east bank of the
River Medway in the county of
Kent. Together with
Rochester and
Gillingham[?] it is part of a conurbation called the
Medway Towns, having a combined population of approximately 250,000. The dockyard ceased to operate as a naval base in 1984. Part of it became a historic site and the rest has been developed as a commercial marina.
