Kirklington cum Upsland was historically a township in the ancient parish of Kirklington in the North Riding of Yorkshire.[2] It became a separate civil parish in 1866.[3] From 1894 it formed an urban district, but in 1934 the urban district was abolished and merged with Bedale Rural District.[4] In 1974 the parish was transferred to Hambleton district in the new county of North Yorkshire. Since 1978 it has shared a grouped parish council, Kirklington with Sutton Howgrave, with the parishes of Howgrave and Sutton with Howgrave.
