In 1900 the boundaries of Tunbridge were extended again to include Rusthall. At the beginning of the 20th century the population of Tunbridge stood at about 33,000. Growth then levelled off for the next 60 years. By the 1930's the population was about 35,000. Growth then levelled off for 30 years. In the early 1960's it stood at about 38,000. Growth then became more rapid.
In 1909 Edward VII allowed the town to add the prefix 'Royal' to its name. In the 1920s the manufacture of inlaid wooden boxes known as Tunbridge ware came to an end.
In the 1920s a council house estate was built at Rusthall. After 1945 other estates were built at Sherwood and High Brooms and at Ramslye.
During World War II some 15 people were killed in Tunbridge by bombing. Many more were injured. In the town 13 houses were destroyed and many more were damaged.
The museum opened in 1952. In the 1950s an attempt was made to attract light industry to Tunbridge and in the 1950s an industrial estate was built at North Farm. However Tunbridge in the late 20th century was largely a dormitory town with a large retired population.
Royal Victoria Place shopping centre opened in 1992.
Today the population of Tunbridge Wells is 61,000.
