Cheltenham

About

TypeSuburbDetailsWilliam Chorley, a tailor, bought land between Epping and Beecroft, possibly between 1887 and 1888. The March 1888 land sale at Beecroft included 55 lots offered for the first time and covering the whole of the future Cheltenham from Murray Road to Devlin's Creek, west of the railway line. Throughout the 1890s portions not previously sold were re-advertised. Land sales took place almost every year. Chorley had come from Strathfield. The building of the platform at Cheltenham in 1898 was the result of negotiations between Chorley and the Railway Commissioners. Invited to name the station he called it Cheltenham, after the place of his birth in Gloucestershire, England.
