A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Ewart from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "EWART, a township in Doddington parish, Northumberland; between the rivers Till a Glen, 4 miles NNW of Wooler. Acres: 1,512. Population: 133. Houses: 26. Ewart Park is the seat of Sir Horace St. Paul, Bart."
Ewart was originally a township in the ancient parish of Doddington, Northumberland. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1974 it was part of Glendale Rural District. In 1955 it absorbed part of the civil parish of Coupland and the whole of Lanton. In 1974 rural districts were abolished and Ewart became part of the Berwick upon Tweed District until 2009 when Northumberland became a unitary authority.
