Tottenham history
Toponymy
Tottenham is believed to have been named after Tota, a farmer whose hamlet was mentioned in the Domesday Book. ‘Tota’s hamlet’, it is thought, developed into ‘Tottenham’ It is not related to Tottenham Court Road in Central London, though the two names share a similar-sounding root.
Early history
There has been a settlement at Tottenham for over a thousand years. It grew up along the old Roman road, Ermine Street, and between High Cross and Tottenham Hale, the present Monument Way. About 70 families lived within the area of the manor, mostly labourers working for the Lord of the Manor.
Modern era
The Great Eastern Railway introduced special workman’s trains and fares on its newly opened Enfield and Walthamstow branch lines. Low-lying fields and market gardens were rapidly transformed into cheap housing for the lower middle and working classes. In 1894, Tottenham was made an urban district and on 27 September 1934 it became a municipal borough. As from 1 April 1965, the municipal borough formed part of the London Borough of Haringey together with Hornsey and Wood Green.
Railway history
The Northern and Eastern Railway – running from Stratford to Broxbourne – was opened on 15 September 1840 with two stations in the district: Tottenham and Marsh Lane. South Tottenham station was opened in 1871. The Stoke Newington & Edmonton Railway opened on 22 July 1872 with stations in Tottenham at Stamford Hill (half of the station lies in the borough), Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove and White Hart Lane.
