Strood is a town in the unitary authority of Medway in Kent, South East England. It lies on the northwest bank of the River Medway at its lowest bridging point, and is part of the Rochester post town. Strood was part of Frindsbury until 1193, but now Frindsbury is considered part of Strood.

Early Modern. Strood was owned by the Rochester monastery from the 18th year of Edward III’s reign until the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, after which time as part of the Hundred of Sharnel (Shamwell) which included Cobham, it was passed to George Brooke, Lord Cobham.

Strood makes up the majority of Rochester’s population on the west bank of the river, making the town of Rochester itself on the east bank actually smaller and less populated than its own suburb; should the two towns ever separate Strood would be the larger of the two.

Strood has a higher rate of home ownership, either outright or via a mortgage than the national average, which suggests that Strood is a relatively affluent area.
