Borough of Swale

Swale is an administrative district with borough status in the county of Kent in England. It is named after the narrow Swale Canal which separates the Isle of Sheppey from the rest of Kent. Most of the borough lies on the island. The administrative seat is Sittingbourne; other significant towns include Bobbing, Eastchurch, Faversham, Queenborough and Sheerness.

The Borough was formed on 1 April 1974, resulting from the merger of the Boroughs of Sittingbourne and Queenborough-in-Sheppey, the Urban District of Sittingbourne and Milton and the Rural District of Swale.
