A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Sugley from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "SUGLEY, a township in Newburn parish, Northumberland; on the river Tyne, 4 miles W of Newcastle. Population: 224. Houses: 44."
Sugley was a township in the ancient parish of Newburn and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1935 it was considered a civil parish within the Urban District of Newburn, and in 1935 it was absorbed into the civil parish of Newburn itself. Newburn became part of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1935.
