Horsforth was considered to have the largest population of any village in the United Kingdom during the latter part of the nineteenth century. It became officially part of the City of Leeds in 1974.
It has been primarily an agricultural village, although it was also home to quarries of high quality and a number of mills along the banks of Horsforth/Moseley Beck. Stone from Horsforth was used in the construction of Kirkstall Abbey and Scarborough seafront.
