Interesting Facts About Basildon

History of Basildon

Basildon is the largest town in the borough of Basildon in the county of Essex, England. It lies 26 miles east of Central London, 11 miles south of the city of Chelmsford and 10 miles west of Southend-on-Sea. Nearby smaller towns include Billericay to the northwest, Wickford northeast and South Benfleet to the southeast. It was created as a new town after World War II in 1948 to accommodate the London population overspill. From the conglomeration of four small villages, namely Pitsea, Laindon, Basildon and Vange.

General Info

The first historical reference to Basildon is in records from 1086. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as ‘Belesduna’. The name ‘Basildon’ may be derived from the Anglo-Saxon personal name ‘Boerthal’ and the Anglo-Saxon word ‘dun’, meaning hill. In historical documents, this name had various forms over the centuries, including Berdlesdon, Batlesdon and Belesduna. Railway service started in the 19th century to Pitsea and Laindon but it was only later that proposals to provide service to the new town of Basildon. Shelved for many years because of concerns that it would simply become a commuter suburb of London, were eventually forced through. A significant number of modern-day residents do commute to London.
