In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kingsdale like this:
KINGSDALE, an upland vale in W. R. Yorkshire; flanked on the E by Whernside mountain; separated on the W by a mountain ridge from Lancashire; and descending southward to a junction with Gretadale immediately above Ingleton. It contains curious caves, and affords grand views of Whernside and Ingleborough.
Kingsdale is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Kingsdale itself, go to Statistics.
