[/thumb]Edgware was recorded Aegces Wer in 972-8 and Eggeswera later and is derived from the personal name of a Saxon Ecgis and weir - means very simply, 'Ecgis', fishing pool from a local stretch of water. From an early set of boundaries the precise position of the fishing pool can be ascertained; it is where Watling Street (now Edgware Road) crosses the Edgware Brook.
The station was opened as EDGWARE on 18 August 1924.
