Elmbridge was an ancient hundred in the north of the county of Surrey, England. The majority of its area forms the borough of Elmbridge in Surrey, with the remainder now forming part of Greater London.
Elmbridge appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Amelebrige. Elmbridge was a hundred (these are not marked on the Surrey map, which shows only Domesday manors), an administrative area, where local leaders met about once a month.[1]
Settlements within the hundred included: Cobham, Esher, East and West Molesey, Stoke D'Abernon, Thames Ditton, Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge.
Surbiton had an elm tree on its crest as its area once lay within the Elmbridge hundred.
