Prior to the nationwide municipal reorganization of 1974, Patrick Brompton was located in Leyburn Rural District. Historically, it was an ecclesiastical parish in the Hang West Wapentake.
The following description from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72 is provided by the website A Vision of Britain Through Time (University of Portsmouth Department of Geography).
- "BROMPTON-PATRICK, a township and a parish in Leyburn [registration] district, [North Riding of] Yorkshire. The township lies on an affluent of the river Swale, near the Northallerton and Leyburn railway, 4 miles NW by W of Bedale. Acres: 1,280. Real property: £2,341. Population: 205. Houses: 43. The parish contains also the townships of Newton-le-Willows, Hunton, and Arrathorne; the first of which has a station on the railway, and the second a post office under Catterick. Acres: 5,757. Real property: £10,035. Population: 1,216. Houses: 266. The property is much subdivided. The living is a vicarage, united with the vicarage of Hunton, in the diocese of Ripon. Value: £200. Patron: the Bishop of Ripon. The church is good; and there are charities £27.
The parish as described by Wilson is the ancient parish. Newton le Willows (#24), Hunton (#19), and Arrathorne (#2) all became civil parishes in 1866, leaving the township of Patrick Brompton to become a separate civil parish. The parish area dropped from 5,757 acres in 1851 to 1,240 acres in 1881 and remained at that level to at least 1960. The four civil parishes may have merged again following the nationwide reorganization in local administration which occurred in 1974.
