Stevenage is a town and borough in Hertfordshire, England. It is situated to the east of junctions 7 and 8 of the A1(M), and is between Letchworth Garden City to the north, and Welwyn Garden City to the south. Stevenage is roughly north of central London. Its population has increased significantly over the last century: the population was 1,430 in 1801, 4,049 in 1901, 79,724 in 2001 and 84,651 in 2007. The largest increase occurred in the 1950s and 1960s, after Stevenage was designated a new town under the New Towns Act of 1946. Two films were set in and around Stevenage, ''Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush'' and ''Boston Kickout''. ''Spy Game'' was partly filmed in Stevenage but set in Washington, D.C.. ==Etymology== Stevenage may derive from Old English ''stiþen āc'' / ''stiðen āc'' / ''stithen ac'' (various Old English dialects cited here) meaning '(place at) the strong oak'. The name was recorded as ''Stithenæce'', c.1060 and ''Stigenace'' in 1086 in the Domesday Book. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stevenage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
