Chipping Norton was a farming area throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, named after an old English village by William Alexander Long.

Long was born in Sydney in 1839, and travelled to England to study law, and later lived in Chipping Norton (Oxfordshire).

He died in 1915 and in 1919 the government bought his estate and subdivided it into farming blocks for soldiers returning from the First World War.
