From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

In 1732, Richard and Thomas Peirse developed a port on the southern banks of the River Tees at Low Worsall, and named it Peirseburgh. The river was naviagable as far as Worsall at that time, and exports of lead would pass through Worsall to be loaded onto ships at Yarm. The brothers developed a port to capture road traffic and transfer it to and from ships.{{cite journal |last1=Barton |first1=Peter |title=Low Worsall: the shipping and trade of an eighteenth-century 'port' on the River Tees |journal=The Mariner's Mirror |date=1969 |volume=55 |issue=1 |page=61 |publisher=Society for Nautical Research Taylor & Francis |location=London |doi=10.1080/00253359.1969.10657860 |issn=0025-3359 |oclc=1587947}} The brothers lived at Worsall Hall, which is now a grade II* listed building.{{NHLE |num= 1294600|desc= Worsall Hall, Low Worsall|access-date= 27 April 2025}}
