Hawkesbury Townships - Baulkham Hills

William Joyce, the first settler in the Shire, was given a grant of 30 acres in 1794 near today's Junction Road and Old Windsor Road. Andrew McDougall, a settler from Buckholm Hills, County of Roxburgh in Scotland, was given land in 1799, which he named Roxburgh Place. He was responsible for giving the district its present name as it reminded him of his homeland. The name was officially recognised in 1902.
