History
The name "Barugh" means 'rise of the land' which has its origins in Anglo-Saxon. The name was first recorded as Berg and Berch in 1086 and comes from Old English beorg 'hill.' The pub in Great Barugh, which dates back to 1632, is the heart of the community; it is one of the oldest remaining buildings in the village. This is the only local village amenity, with Great and Little Barugh having no shops, post office or village Hall. Ruins have been found at sites in both Great and Little Barugh including those of a Roman villa. There is also evidence of a Roman road which led to York. There was a school in Great Barugh which opened in 1859; this has since been closed.
Both Great and Little Barugh are mentioned in Domesday Book. Great Barugh is described as very small, with 2.1 households, and a quite large total assessed tax (6.5 geld units) Little Barugh also appears in Domesday Book. Again it is described as very small, with only 2.1 households. The total tax assessed for Little Barugh is again quite large (6 geld units).

Parish
Great Barugh and Little Barugh are both contained in the parish of Kirby Misperton. Little Barugh was enclosed around 1600. Both Little and Great Barugh contain Wesleyan chapels, the one at Great Barugh having been erected in 1899. Both buildings are now dwelling houses. The church of the Holy Saviour was built in 1850 at Great Barugh to serve as the small parish.
The Parish was formed when there was little difference to the people between the church and the state. The parish of Kirby Misperton was formed around the village and other small settlements.
Between 1974 and 2023 the parish was part of the Ryedale district. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.

Industry
A Vision of Britain through time describes the industry in Barugh in 1801 as a "population divided into "chiefly employed in agriculture" or "chiefly employed in trade, manufacture or handicraft"". Agriculture has always been the main occupations for the villagers but since World War One and the rapid mechanization that followed agriculture in Barugh has declined.
In the Census of 1881 it is recorded that 52 people worked in agriculture, 51 of whom were men. It is apparent many of the women in the village worked in Domestic Service or Offices. Many women were also recorded as having unspecified work. Agriculture was the biggest employer of the village in 1881.
There has been a shift in industry since 1881; in the 2011 census it was recorded that only 8 people now worked in Agriculture. Reasons for this could be due to mechanization or due to population decrease in Barugh. Today in Barugh, 13 people work in Wholesale or Retail trade and 12 people work in human health and social work. This is a massive shift in industry, people will commute to get to work now and not work in the village.
