History
Cecil Park was originally home to the Cabrogal people who occupied much of the greater Fairfield area. When European exploration of the area began in the early 1800s, a nearby range was named Cecil Hill and this in turn inspired the name Cecil Park. The first white settler in Cecil Park was Simeon Lord.
