From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

The name Healaugh is derived from a Saxon word (Heah) meaning a high-level forest clearing. [2]

The village is small, with no amenities except a stone trough fed by a hillside stream, [1] and the village telephone box. The latter is unusually well endowed, with a carpet, waste paper bin, ash tray, directories and fresh flowers. Visitors may leave a donation. [2]

On 5 July 2014, the Tour de France Stage 1 from Leeds to Harrogate passed through the village. [3]
