Scorton was mentioned in Domesday Book as “Scortone” in the lands of Count Alan of Brittany, who was tenant-in-chief during the Norman invasion. The name is derived from a combination of the Old Norse word skor, meaning a rift in the rock, and the Old English suffix tūn, meaning ravine farm. Between 1939 and 1945 the village served as a satellite of RAF Catterick.
