The place is first mentioned in 1184 as Burtheit. The toponym means "cottage or store-house clearing", from the Old Norse búr and þveit.[1] Fountains Abbey owned the land in the Middle Ages and established a grange at Bouthwaite.[2]

Between 1907 and 1930 Bouthwaite was the site of Ramsgill railway station on the Nidd Valley Light Railway.[3]
