The name Baguley is derived from the Old English words bagga (badger, or possibly referring simply to any woodland or hill-inhabiting wild animal) and lēah (clearing or meadow).[3][4]
Historically in Cheshire, Baguley is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.[5] It was incorporated into Manchester in 1931.
