In 1823 Everthorpe was in the parish of North Cave and in the Wapentake of Harthill. Population was 177, which included Drewton, a hamlet less than 1 mile to the north-east. Occupations included three farmers, a corn miller, and the landlord of Duke of York public house.[1]

The area was home to two prisons - HMP Everthorpe and HMP Wolds - in 2014 merged into one: HM Prison Humber.
