The parish was formed in 1921 by the amalgamation of Barnby upon Don with Kirk Sandall. Until 1956 it also included Edenthorpe.[2]
Barnby Dun was home to the Thorpe Marsh Power station before its closure in the middle 1990s.
Barnby Dun has had elementary education since around 1872. The old school, as it is known now, with one classroom was paid for originally from local charities and the church fund. The property lies on Top Road, Barnby Dun. The first headteacher of the new school was Charles Newbound 1872-1895. During the last century extensions and additions to the school were made. As the village grew, so did the school but in 1977 a new infant school was built on Church Road and the original school became a junior school educating 7-12 year old boys and girls. Due to a falling population it was decided that both schools be amalgamated and the infant school site was chosen as the new Primary school.
Barnby Dun has a fourteenth century church, St Peter & St Pauls.
The village was served by Barnby Dun railway station, it is now closed.
