History Northallerton is a historic market town with roots stretching back nearly 2,000 years. Evidence suggests there was a Roman settlement in the area, with the town developing further during the Anglo-Saxon period around the site of what is now All Saints' Church. Over the centuries, Northallerton grew into an important religious, administrative and trading centre for North Yorkshire.
One of the most significant events in the town's history was the Battle of the Standard in 1138, fought just outside Northallerton. The battle saw English forces defeat a Scottish army and remains one of the most notable medieval conflicts in northern England.
The town's famous wide High Street has been at the heart of Northallerton for centuries, hosting markets since medieval times. Granted a market charter in the early 13th century, the town became a thriving centre for agricultural trade and commerce, a tradition that continues today with regular market days and a bustling town centre.
During the coaching era, Northallerton became an important stopping point on the route between London and Edinburgh, welcoming travellers, merchants and even royalty. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century further cemented the town's importance and helped shape it into the thriving market town enjoyed by residents today.
Today, Northallerton successfully blends its rich heritage with modern convenience, offering a charming market-town atmosphere, excellent amenities, highly regarded schools and superb transport links, all while retaining the character and sense of community that have made it one of North Yorkshire's most desirable places to live.
