Eavestone was historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book, held by the Archbishop of York in 1086.[2] It remained an extra parochial area until 1743,[3] when it was joined to the parish of Ripon. It became a separate civil parish in 1866,[4] and was transferred to North Yorkshire in 1974. The parish now shares a grouped parish council with the civil parishes of Grantley, Sawley and Skelding, known as the Grantley, Sawley, Skelding and Eavestone Parish Council.[5]

In the late 18th century, Lord Grantley laid out an ornamental lake and footpaths, now known as Eavestone Lake and Fishpond Wood, to the South of the hamlet.[6]
