Wolverton is a ward in the north‑west of Milton Keynes, England, sitting beside the River Great Ouse. It grew in the 19th century as a railway town around a large locomotive and carriage works, and that industrial heritage is still visible in terraces, historic workshop buildings and a compact town centre.
The area has a strong community feel with independent shops, pubs and local arts and heritage groups, while old railway sites and nearby industrial estates have been inwardly redeveloped as part of wider regeneration and housing projects. Good rail links via Wolverton station on the West Coast Main Line make it convenient for commuters, so the ward mixes Victorian character with ongoing modern development and a socially diverse population.
