The name Fadmoor comes from Old English and means moor of a man called Fadda.[4]

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

The 18th century village pub, The Plough, closed in 2011 and became a community asset in 2013. The work to re-open the pub is the subject of a Channel 4 documentary.[5]
