Parts of Epping Forest are in Buckhurst Hill intermingled with residential areas. The nearest areas are Chigwell, Chingford, Loughton and Woodford. As measured in the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of roughly 11,400 people. The very first mention of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', historically describing a hill covered with beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and consisted of only a few scattered homes along the ancient road from Woodford to Loughton. Before the construction of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Initially it was part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and to be able to get to church, residents had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The opening of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 saw a fast expansion in the population of the area, with nearly six hundred new houses being built close to the station by 1871. The town also hosts the Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
