The village was historically part of the East Riding of Yorkshire. Administratively it was a part of the Selby District in the shire county of North Yorkshire from 1974 until 1996. Since 1996 it has been part of the City of York unitary authority.[3]
The parish of Wheldrake covers an area of 4,300 acres (1,700 ha). It was established before 1066 and after being largely in the possession of Fountains Abbey in the Middle Ages, it became part of a landed estate until the mid 20th century. It has a significant conservation area and a nature reserve of international importance. This, named Wheldrake Ings, is a mile east of the village, and is where many wild flowers flourish and rare birds prosper.
Most of the employed people who live in the village commute to work. There is a primary school, a church, a shop with post office and a public house which serve 761 households.
There is a small industrial estate near the western approach to the village.
