Milton Keynes Established as a New Town

January 23rd, 1967 58 years ago

Milton Keynes was founded as a new town in England, designed to accommodate a population of 250,000. The development plan encompassed three existing towns and twenty-one villages, all situated in a largely agricultural area. Notably, this location showed continuous human settlement traces going back to the Bronze Age. The initiative aimed to address housing shortages and improve urban planning post-World War II.
