Flasby was first mentioned, as Flatebi, in the Domesday Book of 1086.[3] The toponym is of Old Norse origin, meaning "the farmstead of a man called Flat" (the same origin as Flaxby).[4]

Flasby with Winterburn was a township in the ancient parish of Gargrave in Staincliffe Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[5] It became a separate civil parish in 1866,[6] and was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire in 1974.

Flasby Hall is a large house built in 1843–44 and a Grade II listed building.[7] In 1848 the Flasby Sword, an Iron Age sword and scabbard, was discovered in the grounds. It is now in the Craven Museum & Gallery in Skipton.[8]

Freddie Trueman, the Yorkshire cricketer, lived in the village for many years.[9]
