Stony Stratford is recorded as being a settlement since at least Roman Times, with its status as a town from 1215. The town name is Anglo-Saxon in origin and means "Stony ford on a Roman road". This road is Watling Street which runs through the middle of the town.

Today Stony Stratford is a busy market town, with various events through the year.
