In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Earby like this:
EARBY, a township in Thornton-in-Craven parish, W. R. Yorkshire; on the Colne branch of the North Midland railway, 5½ miles SW of Skipton. It has a station on the railway, a cotton mill, and Baptist and Wesleyan chapels.
Earby is now part of PENDLE District. Click here for graphs and data of how PENDLE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Earby itself, go to Statistics.
