DEVONPORT, a municipal, county and parliamentary borough of Devonshire,
England, contiguous to East Stonehouse and Plymouth, the seat of one of
the royal dockyards, and an important naval and military station. Pop.
(1901) 70,437. It is situated immediately above the N.W. angle of
Plymouth Sound, occupying a triangular peninsula formed by Stonehouse
Pool on the E. and the Hamoaze on the W. It is served by the Great
Western and the London & South Western railways. The town proper was
formerly enclosed by a line of ramparts and a ditch excavated out of the
limestone, but these are in great part demolished. Adjoining Devonport
are East Stonehouse (an urban district, pop. 15,111), Stoke and Morice
Town, the two last being suburbs of Devonport. The town hall, erected in
1821-1822 partly after the design of the Parthenon, is distinguished by
a Doric portico; while near it are the public library, in Egyptian
style, and a conspicuous Doric column built of Devonshire granite. This
monument, which is 100 ft. high, was raised in commemoration of the
naming of the town in 1824. Other institutions are the Naval Engineering
College, Keyham (1880); the municipal technical schools, opened in 1899,
the majority of the students being connected with the dockyard; the
naval barracks, Keyham (1885); the Raglan barracks and the naval and
military hospitals. On Mount Wise, which was formerly defended by a
battery (now a naval signalling station), stands the military residence,
or Government House, occupied by the commander of the Plymouth Coast
Defences; and near at hand is the principal naval residence, the naval
commander-in-chief's house. The prospect from Mount Wise over the
Hamoaze to Mount Edgecumbe on the opposite shore is one of the finest in
the south of England. The most noteworthy feature of Devonport, however,
is the royal dockyard, originally established by William III. in 1689
and until 1824 known as Plymouth Dock. It is situated within the old
town boundary and contains four d
