The toponym is from the Old English sūð tūn, meaning "south farmstead". The place was once known as Sutton in Elmet, from its location in the district of Elmet. [1] Sutton was historically a township in the ancient parish of Brotherton [2] in the West Riding of Yorkshire. [3] It became a separate civil parish in 1866, but on 26 March 1891 the civil parish was abolished and merged with the civil parish of Byram cum Poole to form the civil parish of Byram cum Sutton. [4] In 1881 the parish had a population of 39. [5] In 1974 it was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire. From 1974 to 2023 it was in the Selby District.
