In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of around 11,380 inhabitants. The initial mention of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', traditionally describing a hill which is covered with beech trees. It sat in Epping Forest and included only a few scattered houses along the old road from Woodford to Loughton. Before the construction of the railways, Buckhurst Hill was on the stage coach route in between London and Cambridge, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds and Dunmow. Initially it was a part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the 2 communities and so as to get to church, residents had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The establishment of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 saw a fast expansion in the population of the area, with roughly 600 new homes having been built close to the station by 1871. The town is also home to Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
