Nether Silton is a village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Northallerton, on the border of the North York Moors national park. During 1870–72 Nether Silton was described as, "a chapelry in Leake parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 6½ miles E of Northallerton r. station. Post town, Thirsk. Real property, £1,702. Pop. 178. Houses, 45." by John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales.
Historically areas were classified into Ancient Counties, alternatively known as Historic counties of England, Nether Silton belonged to the county of Yorkshire. These Ancient Counties were then separated further, Nether Silton belonged to North Riding of Yorkshire. Areas were then separated into Poor Law Union/Registration district, Nether Silton came under Northallerton. Nether Silton then became part of Birdforth, an Ancient District. Then formed part of a Registration sub-District under Northallerton. Then became a Sanitary District under the area of Northallerton. Again, continued to be part of Northallerton under Local government district. Previously part of Leake civil parish, Nether Silton became a parish in its own right in 1866. The only growth in the area was in 1934, an increase of 120 acres (0.49 km2) to 1,658 acres (6.71 km2), through gaining part of Leake.
