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 on 1 April 2014 and amalgamated with the parish of Hellifield.[4][5] From 1974 to 2023 it was in Craven district.
