In the early 1960s, researchers at the British Baking Industries Research Association in Chorleywood improved upon an earlier American bread making process. This resulted in the Chorleywood Bread Process, which is now used in over 80% of commercial bread production throughout the world.

Chorleywood has a long history of human settlement:

• dating to the Paleolithic era, when the plentiful flint supply led to swift development of tools by early man
• the Romans built a small village on the ancient site, complete with a mill and brewery
• Saxon settlers in 'Cerola Leah' (meaning a meadow in a clearing) led to Chorleywood being an important town.
• Edward the Confessor gave the town of Chorleywood to the Monastery of St Albans.
• by the thirteenth century, it was known as 'Bosco de Cherle' or 'Churl's Wood', Norman for 'Peasant's Wood'.
• upon the Reformation, it passed to the Bishopric of London, being renamed 'Charleywoode'
• it became Crown property during the reign of Elizabeth I
• the boom in the paper and printing industries brought prosperity in the 19th Century

The town has expanded in the past 100 years, due in the first instance to the extension of the Metropolitan line of the London Undergroundto Chorleywood in 1889. Junction 18 of the M25 motorway, with the A404, is at Chorleywood. Chorleywood station is in Zone B on the Metropolitan line, situated between Chalfont and Latimer and Rickmansworth.
