Swinden was historically a township in the ancient parish of Gisburn in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[2] It became a separate civil parish in 1866.[3] It was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire in 1974. The civil parish was abolished in 2014 and amalgamated with the parish of Hellifield.[4]
