The village was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974. It was then a part of the district of Selby District in North Yorkshire from 1974 until 1996. Since 1996 it has been part of the City of York unitary authority. The village is part of the York Outer constituency.
The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Copemantorp, from Old Norse Kaupmanna þorp, meaning Traders' Village or Craftsmen's Village. The area of Copmanthorpe covering Main Street, Church Street and Low Green became a Conservation Area in 1978.
