Eddlethorpe was originally a township in the ancient parish of Westow in the Buckrose Wapentake of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Eddlethorpe was made a civil parish in 1866 and in 1894 it became part of the Norton Rural District. In 1935 it was absorbed into the neighbouring parish of Burythorpe still within the Norton Rural District.
In 1974 rural districts were abolished and the border between the East Riding of Yorkshire and the North Riding of Yorkshire was realigned. The North Riding changed its name to North Yorkshire.
Since 1974 Eddlethorpe has been in North Yorkshire, specifically within the Ryedale District.
