History

Stamford Hill lies on the old Ancient Rome road of Ermine Street, on high ground above Stoke Newington, where it crosses the road from the medieval village of Clopton (the modern Upper Clapton and Lower Clapton) into Hackney Central. By the 18th century, the road was subject to heavy traffic, including goods wagons pulled by six or more horses, and this caused the surface of the road to deteriorate. The local parishes appealed to Parliament in 1713 for the right to set up a Turnpike trust, to pay for repairs and maintenance. Gates were installed at Kingsland, London and Stamford Hill to collect the tolls. (Brickfields Spitalfields) accessed 18 May 2009

Development of the area began around 1800, and many prosperous dwellings were built around Stamford Hill over the next 100 years. The ''London Road'' became a busy commercial centre to serve the needs of the burgeoning population. Around 1880, not only were railways serving the area, but this was the point where the tram systems coming north from the cityThe North Metropolitan Tramways Co. inaugurated 1872, and ran from Moorgate via Kingsland and Stoke Newington Roads to Stamford Hill met the Hackney Central tram system,The North Metropolitan from Bishopsgate ran through Mare Street, and thence to Upper Clapton, opened in 1872, and was extended to Clapton Common in 1875, reaching Stamford Hill in 1902 and so it became a busy interchange, with a depot opening in 1873.

Stamford Hill had many eminent Jewish residents, including the Montefiore family. Italy-born Moses Vita Montefiore (died 1789) was living there in 1763. His son Joseph (died 1804) married Rachel Mocatta, and his grandson Abraham Montefiore (died 1824) married Henrietta whose father, the financier Nathan Meyer Rothschild, lived near the modern Colberg Place from 1818 to 1835. The Montefiores' property a little further south was to be transformed by Abraham's grandson, Claude Montefiore, into Montefiore House school. With the increased development of the area, many distinguished families moved away: in 1842 there were few remaining of the wealthy Jews who had once settled in Hackney.

Stamford Hill is at the centre of an Ashkenazi ultra-Orthodox Jewish and predominantly Hasidic Judaism community estimated to be some 30,000 strong and growing at a rate of around 5% each year. It is the largest Hasidic community in Europe, and referred to as a ''square mile of piety'', reflecting the many Jewish men seen walking in their distinctive clothes on their way to and from worship. The congregations often represent historical links with particular areas of Eastern Europe in their dress and their worship. Many also retain international links with other congregations around the world. The largest of these congregations is the Satmar (Hasidic dynasty), which has five directly associated synagogues; Belz (Hasidic dynasty) is another large community with several synagogues. In the surrounding area there may be over 50 synagogues, and many observant Jews in the neighbouring areas of Stoke Newington, Upper Clapton and Tottenham identify with Stamford Hill.

A volunteer emergency response first-aid service called Hatzola (the Hebrew word for rescue) and a volunteer community watch group called Shomrim (volunteers) (the Hebrew word for watchmen) are run by, and largely for, the Jewish community.
