Margate is a town in Thanet, Kent, England (population about 57,000). Its name was recorded as "Meregate" in 1264 and as "Margate" in 1299, but the spelling continued to vary into modern times.
The name is thought to refer to a pool gate or gap in a cliff where pools of water are found, often allowing swimmers to jump in. The cliffs of the Isle of Thanet are composed of chalk, a fossil-bearing rock.
