Walsworth was originally a village within the parish of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, about a mile northeast of the town. In 1894 it was made into a separate parish, but in 1921 it was absorbed back into the parish of Hitchin Urban. It is still sufficiently separate from Hitchin to be referred to as a village by some locals. Walsworth includes neighbourhood of Purwell (redirected here), south of the main village, which is named after the River Purwell.

Walsworth is now part of the non-metropolitan North Hertfordshire District Council.
