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]
