History of Uxbridge
Uxbridge is a town in west London, England, and the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Hillingdon. It was historically part of the county of Middlesex. As of 2015, Uxbridge had a population of 54,307. It is located 15.4 miles (24.8 km) west-northwest of Charing Cross.
Uxbridge historically formed part of the parish of Hillingdon, with other nearby villages including Ickenham, Northwood, Harefield and Ruislip. It is recorded as "Woxbrigge" in 1163, and "uxnebrije" in 1248. The name means "bridge over the River Ux", where 'ux' refers to a Celtic word meaning 'wandering'. The river crossed what is now St Andrew's Road, and latterly Oxford Road, before being culverted and running underground from Hillingdon Wheel to Uxbridge High Street.
