Mid Kent (historic UK Parliament constituency)


Mid Kent was a parliamentary constituency in the county of Kent, which returned two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
It was created for the 1868 general election, and abolished for the 1885 general election, when the three two-member constituencies were replaced by several new single-member constituencies: Ashford, Dartford, Faversham, Isle of Thanet, Medway, St Augustines, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge.
A later single-member constituency called Mid Kent existed from 1983 to 1997.
