Hetton was historically part of the township of Hetton with Bordley in the ancient parish of Burnsall in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[1] In the late 19th century it became a separate township,[2] and it became a separate civil parish in 1866.[3] It was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire in 1974. The civil parish was abolished on 1 April 2012 and amalgamated with the parish of Bordley to form the new civil parish of "Hetton-cum-Bordley".[4] [5] From 1974 until 2023 it was in Craven district.[6]
