Now ...... this name "Medway"

Is it me? I can't find "Medway" on any map except as the name of a river. I can find Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood etc.
The word "Medway" seems to crop up everywhere and yet the place doesn't actually exist - a bit like The Emporer's New Clothes. Black Lion Sports Centre Gillingham has become "Medway Park" all the signs entering each of our towns say "Welcome to Medway" instead of "Welcome to Gillingham" or "Welcome to Chatham". The philosophy seems to be "If you keep saying it long enough maybe it will become a reality"!
