The parish of Monken Hadley was part of Middlesex until 1889. There are several places of significance in Hadley. The village area itself was called Monken Hadley, centred on the Anglican church of St Mary. East of this was Hadley Common. West of the village is Hadley Green, north of which is Hadley Highstone.

Golders Green was a hamlet until the 1900s. Much of Golders Green was in a minor manor called Hodford (c1200s). Some have suggested that the name Golders Green may come from a 15th-century Goldherd's mill (located further south near Clitterhouse fields). However it is more likely to come from a local family called Godyere. The green itself probably developed during the 16th century, and was in use by 1612.

The reservoir was created by flooding Cockman's farm in 1835. The Brent and the Silk brooks were dammed and the water from the lake was used to supply the Grand Union Canal. At its greatest extent it covered 400 acres (c1853), but was reduced in the twentieth century to 110 acres. Even so, it is said to contain enough water to fill three million baths, and in 1991 was believed to contain 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) of fish.
