From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Richmondshire, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
To the west of the village lies the Grade II* listed Hauxwell Hall, a 17th-century country house belonging to the Dalton family.[3]
The name Hauxwell probably derives from the Old English Hafocswella meaning 'Hafoc's spring' or 'hawk's spring'. Alternatively, the first element may be derived from the Old Norse personal name Haukr.[4]
