Murston is a suburb of Sittingbourne, in the Swale district, in the county of Kent, England.

It is about 1 mile north-east of central Sittingbourne, on the east bank of the Milton Creek.

[3] In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, referred to Murston having a post office (under Sittingbourne control) and a quay and several docks on the creek.

[5] On 31 March 1930 the parish was abolished to form Sittingbourne and Milton, part also went to Luddenham.

King Richard I, while at the Siege of Acon in Palestine, was assisted by 'Bartholomew de Murston' of the manor.

[8] The village also has (the Grade II listed) Church of All Saints,[9] which is in the diocese of Canterbury, and deanery of Sittingborne.

[12] On the northern boundary of the parish, the Swale Way (a bypass route called the 'Sittingbourne Northern Relief road' (which was built in 2010/11)) passes over the Milton Creek heads from the A249 road (past Kemsley) towards the Eurolink Industrial estate and towards the East Hall Farm residential development.

[13] Plans were to extend it past Bapchild to the Kent Science Park near Highsted,[14] before joining the M2 Motorway.

[16] Passing along the Swale along the Milton Creek towards Sittingbourne is the Saxon Shore Way (a long-distance path around most of Kent).

George Smeed (1812-1881) was a local entrepreneur who developed the extractive industries and the related enterprises.
