A Look Back at Hazelmere's Past

Hazelmere has an interesting history! It was once part of a very large piece of land. This land was given to Captain James Stirling way back in 1829.

How Hazelmere Got Its Name

Later, in 1883, a person from Guildford bought this land. They decided to divide it into smaller sections. One of these new sections was named Hazelmere. It got its name from a town in England called Haslemere, which is near Guildford, Surrey.
