Originally a township in the parish of Halesowen it became a separate civil parish in 1866 and was made part of the Halesowen Rural District by the Local Government Act 1894. From 1925 this became the Halesowen urban district. In 1974, it became part of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough in the West Midlands, because of the Local Government Act 1972. During the 19th century and before, Hasbury was a small hamlet consisting of mainly farms and agricultural land with the main thoroughfare being, as it is today, Hagley Road. These farms were dotted either side of the Hagley road and included Hasbury Farm (at the rear of what is now the Tesco Express), High Farm (Now High Farm Road) Cherrytree Farm (rear of the former Fox Hunt Pub, now Harvester), Bassnage Farm (now Bassnage Road), Lutley Farm, Yewtree Farm (approx. location of Yew Tree Road). These farms for the most part were built of large red sandstone blocks taken from the nearby Hasbury Quarry located off Quarry Hill which now forms parts of Hasbury School's playing fields.
By the mid 20th century the majority of these historic farms had been sold off and demolished with their extensive fields and land sold off for new housing estates.
