There's been humans living in my area for at least 500,000 years, the forebears of later Neanderthals.

However the name of my county, Kent, comes more from Roman times. The tribe that was living here when the Romans first arrived they called the Cantii. Kent is a Anglicized and evolved version of that.

@OldBrit Some of my mob came from there... a village called Eastry.

@walabby I know Eastry. Not been there in a while bit an old colleague lived there. I worked a few miles away and the rehab I lived in in summer 2004 was literally in the next village.
