Bexley began as a single manor with a few mills and a Saxon church. Over the centuries, the borough grew steadily.

Notably, Red House in Bexleyheath was built for the famous English textile designer William Morris. The industrial revolution saw land transformed from rural & rough land to developed areas - primarily driven by its riverside location (Erith). Bexley became a major industrial and residential centre during the Victorian era and beyond. In 1965 Bexley, Erith Municipal Borough, Crayford Urban District, and parts of Chislehurst & Sidcup were merged to create the borough of Bexley.
