The name Kirby derives from the Old Norse kirkjubýr meaning 'village with a church'. Underdale derives from the Old Norse personal name Hundolf and the Old English dæl meaning 'dale' (valley). The church, dedicated to All Saints, was designated a Grade I listed building in 1987 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England. In Baines 1823 History, Directory and Gazetteer of the County of York, Kirby Underdale village and parish was listed as "Kirby Guderdale", and was in the Wapentake of Buckrose. All Saints' Church and its benefice was in the patronage of King George IV. Population at the time was 385, which included two farmers, one of whom was a butcher, a blacksmith, a grocer, and a carpenter. Included in the parish and its population was the hamlet of Garraby, one mile (1.5 km) south-west, with two farmers and Sir F. L. Wood. Sir Francis Lindley Wood of Garrowby Hall and Hickleton Hall was lord of the manor and owner of most parish land, and provided a schoolmaster to teach poor parish children at Uncleby, a further parish hamlet one mile (1.5 km) north of Kirby. One mile (1.5 km) farther to the north was the parish hamlet of Hanging Grimston, and one mile (1.5 km) southeast, that of Painsthorpe, where Rear-Admiral Charles Richardson lived. The population by 1840 was 293, with parish occupations that included twenty-one farmers, two wheelwrights, two shopkeepers, a tailor, a woodman, and a gamekeeper. Further residents were a schoolmaster and schoolmistress, a parish clerk, a yeoman, and the parish incumbent at the rectory. In 1868 a tumulus on the Uncleby Wold revealed two barrows, one British (70 feet) and one Anglo-Saxon (94 feet) the former inside the latter. 70 Anglo-Saxon skeletons were found among numerous relics from the two cultures.
