The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to Gospatric.[4] The name Staveley is Anglo-Saxon and means the clearing where the staves were brought from.[5]

The village used to have a railway station on the now disused Pilmoor, Boroughbridge and Knaresborough Railway. When it opened, it was called Staveley, but from 1881 its name was taken from nearby Copgrove village to avoid confusion with Staveley in Derbyshire.[7]

The grade II listed, Church of All Saints, was built in 1864[8] and holds services twice-monthly.[9] The church replaces an earlier structure which is believed to have existed since Medieval times.[10]

Staveley was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.[11]
