Settlement goes back to the pre-Roman period. Kent is the centre of hop-growing in England and Faversham has been the home of several breweries, including the Shepherd Neame Brewery, founded in 1698. Faversham was the centre of the explosives industry between the 17th and early 20th century, before a decline following an accident in 1916 which killed over 100 workers.
