The company and brand name VAUXHALL is derived from the place name in Lambeth, London. VAUXHALL was founded in Lambeth in 1857. The place name Vauxhall is derived from the name of Falkes de Breauté, the head of King John's mercenaries in the late 13th century. There is a large house owned by Falkes de Breauté in this area, which was referred to as Faulke's Hall, later Foxhall, and eventually Vauxhall.
