Somerden Hundred

Somerden was a hundred, a historical land division, in the county of Kent, England.

[1] The population in that census was recorded as 3,924,[2] of which 2,078 were male and 1,846 were female,[8] who belonged to 734 families living in 567 houses.

Somerden, like the other hundreds in Kent, became less significant gradually over time, and although never formally abolished, it was obsolete by 1894 with the creation of new districts.

Parishes that were recorded as being in the hundred were Cowden, and Penhurst, and parts of Leigh, Hever, Chiddingstone, Speldhurst, Edinbridge.

The Hundred of Codsheath, to the north of Somerden, was sometimes recorded as including parts of the Leigh parish.
