Easington and Easington Grange were two separate townships and civil parishes until 1955, but the following description from A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description for both townships from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "EASINGTON-GRANGE, a township in Belford parish, Northumberland; 1½ mile NE of Belford. Acres, 547; of which 126 are water. Pop., 71. Houses, 13."
Easington Grange has been redirected here. Both Easington and Easington Grange were townships in the ancient parish of Belford. They became separate civil parishes in 1866. From 1894 until 1974 Easington was part of Belford Rural District. In 1955 it absorbed the parish of Easington Grange along with the parishes of Outchester and Spindlestone. In 1974 rural districts were abolished and Easington became part of the Berwick upon Tweed District until 2009 when Northumberland became a unitary authority.
