Parts of Epping Forest are in Buckhurst Hill intermingled with residential areas. The nearest places are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. As measured in the 2011 Census, the town features a population of 11,400 people. The initial historical record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', originally describing a hill which is covered with beech trees. It sat in Epping Forest and consisted of only a handful of scattered homes along the ancient road from Woodford to Loughton. Prior to the building of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Traditionally it was a part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and to be able to get to church, parishioners had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The opening of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 saw a rapid expansion in the population of the area, with roughly 600 new houses having been built near the station by 1871. The town also hosts the Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
