History

Hiltonbury Farm (now a public house) appeared on a map of 1588 and may originally have been owned by the Hursley Park Estate in nearby Hursley. It was later sold to Cranbury Park Estate and stopped being a working farm in the late 1970s, when the surrounding area was developed. Other communities revolved around other farms in the area but Chandler's Ford was very sparsely populated until the 19th century.

Chandler's Ford could be described as a town of housing estates and little else. In the 1920s, building took place in the King's Court, Merdon and Hiltingbury areas. Later, development in the Hursley Road area happened, followed by housing across Hiltingbury, Scantabout, Peverells Road, Spring Hill and Oakmount areas. More recently, developments in South Millers Dale, North Millers Dale and the 'new town' of Valley Park to the West of Chandler's Ford have completed the mix of housing. Chandler's Ford is considered to be the development to the West of the M3 motorway and now forms the majority of the Eastleigh urban area.

Due to the development of the town, there is little identifiable 'town centre'. The main commercial centre is in Fryern, the area of the Halfway Inn (near the old tollhouse for Winchester-Southampton), but other smaller shopping areas include the Central Precinct and the area around St Boniface Church (built 1904). An Anglican Church was added in Hiltingbury in the 1960s, with the Roman Catholic and Methodist churches existing on the main Winchester-Southampton route. The Roman Catholic Church, most often spoken of simply as the Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with over one billion members. ... The Methodist movement is a group of denominations of Protestant Christianity. ...

Chandler's Ford had a cricket team representing it until 1995 when Chandler's Ford CC merged with Compton and Shawford CC to form Compton and Chandler's Ford CC. Compton and Chandler's Ford 3rd XI still played in Chandler's Ford on Hiltingbury Recreational Ground until 2005, when the ground was needed to undergo redevelopment and the 3rd XI moved to King George V Playing Fields in Winchester and have played there since.
