It was historically within the Cosford Hundred of Suffolk.[2] The civil parish was merged with Nedging on 1 April 1935 to create "Nedging with Naughton".[3] In 1931 the civil parish had a population of 98.[4]
Naughton is formed from the junction of two roads, the Whatfield Road which comes in from the south-west and heads north to Nedging Tye and New Road which comes in from the south-east.
