Humberton is a hamlet and civil parish in the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire, England. It is situated 2 miles (3.2 km) east from Boroughbridge and on the north side of the River Ure. The hamlet lies about one mile to the west of the Swale,[1] and comprises 2,320 acres (9 km2) of land.
The Ure, which separates the township from Aldborough, was crossed by a wooden bridge, at Milby, before the Conquest, and some remains of the bridge are still visible when the water is low. The name Humberton means 'Hund's fortified farm/settlement' or 'Hundr's fortified farm/settlement'.[2] The population was estimated at 50 in 2013.[3]
