Milton Keynes is the name of one of the villages that were in the original designated area of the new "city" of Milton Keynes. This had the name Mideltone (middletown) in the Domesday Book and by 1422 the name of Kaynes had been added after the feudal family name Cahaignes.

Tony Greenwood announced the name, tho' Lord Cambell claimed Dick Crossman actually came up with it -" He used to say that it combined poetic vision and economic realism." It was thought that if any of the three towns - Bletchley, Wolverton or Stony Stratford had been used , the remaining two would have been most offended. The term of city is said to have been used as it was the most appropriate title for an area that included both towns and villages, yet lay within a county and not to assume any title above itself.

The most famous of Britain’s new towns, Milton Keynes was officially designated in 1967. Here one of the largest and most attractive shopping areas in Britain can be found. All shops are under cover and are reached by tall glass –walled arcades paved with marble and lined with exotic trees and shrubs.

The variety of modern housing in Milton Keynes is another of the city’s exciting attractions. Since its creation Milton Keynes has grown into a vast business and commercial centre, with many well known names moving their head office to the city.
