The area was developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and became a parish in 1985. The development of Badger Farm was the subject of the revised Badger Farm Development brief, 1978, produced by Winchester City Council. This laid down the standards for roads, open spaces and housing. Before the development began, the Badger Farm development area was split between two parishes and two city wards. According to the 2001 census Badger Farm had a population of 2,489.

The parish is named after William Badger, who was once a tenant farmer on the site. John O'Loughlin owned the land [1]
