Bolton-by-Bowland was an ancient parish, part of the Western Division of Staincliffe Wapentake. It became a civil parish, probably in the middle of the 19th century, becoming part of Bowland Rural District when it was formed in 1894. In 1938 an 146-hectare (361-acre) area toward the northern end of the parish, that had formed a detached part of Tosside, was transferred to Bolton-by-Bowland.[6] In 1974 the civil parish was transferred from the West Riding of Yorkshire to the Ribble Valley district of Lancashire.

Bolton-by-Bowland shares a parish council with two other parishes, Sawley and Gisburn Forest.[7] Along with Bowland Forest Low, Slaidburn, Newton-in-Bowland, and Easington, the parish forms the Bowland, Newton and Slaidburn ward of Ribble Valley Borough Council.[8][9]
