As per the 2011 Census, the town boasts a resident population of 11,400 residents. The very first historical record of Buckhurst Hill is in 1135, when reference was made to 'La Bocherste', becoming in later years 'Bucket Hill', traditionally describing a hill with lots of beech trees. It lay in Epping Forest and included just a few scattered houses along the ancient road from Woodford to Loughton. Ahead of 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 part of the parish of Chigwell; there was no road which connected the two communities and in order to get to church, residents had to ford the River Roding at Woodford. The opening of Buckhurst Hill Station in 1856 led to a rapid expansion in the population of the area, with nearly 600 new homes being constructed close to the station by 1871. The town also hosts the Buckhurst Hill Football Club and Buckhurst Hill Cricket Club.
