The name Woodale stems from Old English and means Valley of the Wolves.^[3]

The hamlet should not be confused with the even smaller settlement of Woodale in the parish of Stonebeck Up in upper Nidderdale. The two places are only 4 miles (6 km) apart.^[4]

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