The name Flamborough probably derives from the Old Norse personal name Flenn and the Old English burh meaning 'fortification'. Alternatively, the first element could be derived from the Old Norse fleinn meaning arrow, perhaps used in a topographical sense. Tradition holds that the village was founded by Fleyn (or Kormak), the brother of Skarthi (the founder of Scarborough).
The church of St Oswald stands in the village and was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. The village centre contains a number of shops and public houses. The Royal Dog and Duck is at Dog and Duck Square.
In the village are the fragmentary remains of Flamborough Castle, a medieval fortified manor house.
