In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Haileybury like this:
HAILEYBURY, or HALEYBURY, an estate on the SE border of Herts; 1 mile N of Hoddesdon. It comprises 70 acres; was made, in 1805, the site of a college, for the East India Company s cadets; was sold, in 1861, for £15, 200; and was then to be converted into freehold land allotments.
Haileybury is now part of EAST HERTFORDSHIRE District. Click here for graphs and data of how EAST HERTFORDSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Haileybury itself, go to Statistics.
