Margate (Meregate, Mergate), formerly a small fishing See also:village, was an ancient and See also:senior non-corporate member of See also:Dover. In 1347 it contributed 15 See also:ships of small See also:tonnage at the time of the See also:siege of See also:Calais. Throughout the 14th century references are made to Margate in See also:crown regulations regarding See also:fisheries and See also:shipping.

Under See also:Elizabeth Margate was still an obscure fishing village employing about 20 small vessels (" hoys ") in the See also:coasting and See also:river trades, chiefly in the See also:conveyance of See also:grain, on which in 1791 it chiefly subsisted. The droits increased, but were not properly collected until 1724. In 1777 the pier was rebuilt. It was about this time that Margate first began to be known as a bathing-See also:place owing to its See also:fine stretch of See also:firm See also:sand. In 1835 Margate was still a See also:liberty of Dover and no right of citizenship could be acquired. In 18J7 it was incorporated. In 1777 a weekly See also:market was granted on Wednesday and Saturday. It is now held daily, but principally on those two days.
