Formerly Bennitts Hill, One Tree Hill was named after the large ash that stood here until the First World War (when it blew down in a gale). It had once proved a useful landmark for shipping on the Thames. In 1926, a mineral well was discovered in Martinhole Wood, just below the hill.

Crown Hill was the setting for an unusual wager in 1936: a Grays confectioner was bet that he could not cycle backwards up the 1-in-7 road. He did it—twice—even though his challenger failed to show up. The Crown is a 200-year-old pub that once hosted 'smoking concerts'. The plasterwork crown above the entrance is dated 1874.

One Tree Hill and Westley Heights were together designated Langdon Hills Country Park in 1973. The County Council had been buying parcels of land in this area since the 1930s, in an attempt to preserve the native trees. Whitebeam, Turkey oak, beech, poplar, sycamore and alder abound here.
