History
The name Huby is derived from the Old Norse hu and bi, a Danish settlement, probably of Hu or Hugh, a Dane from whom the village takes its name, and has been written as Hobi, Hebi, Hobey and Hubi. In the time of the Norman survey, Huby constituted part of the 'Soke of Easingwold' and belonged to the Royal demesne of the Forest of Galtres.

In 1625/26 the Plague entered Huby; the inhabitants fled the village and camped on common land - called "Cabin Lands"and still so named today.
At the north end of the village is Gracious Street, said to have been named when the street escaped infection from the plague. Opposite Gracious Street on the west side of Main Street and standing back from the road is a Quaker Meeting House erected in 1712, and apparently still in use in 1823. The building now stands on private land. There is a plaque on the wall which reads "The Building behind this wall was a Quaker Meeting

In 1835 Huby had a day school, with an endowment of £1 per year attended by 40-50 children. A school was built by subscription in 1861, on a site in Tollerton Road presented by Sir George Darby Wombwell, Lord of the Manor. In 1890 it had approximately 70 scholars and was licensed for Church services.

Huby had three Public Houses in 1840, The New Inn, The Star and The Cup. By 1863 The Cup had changed its name twice, first to The Tankard and then to The Queen of Trumps. The New Inn and The Star are still with us, but The Queen of Trumps is now a private residence.

At the junction of Baston Lane (Tollerton Road) and Main Street was the Pinfold, a pound for stray animals. The Poor House was situated on the west side of Bell Lane, and on a small green at the south end of Main Street there was a May-Pole.
