The name Allerthorpe derives from either an Old English or Old Norse personal name, perhaps Aelfweard or Alfvarthr, and the Old Norse þorp meaning 'secondary settlement'.

Allerthorpe has a public house, The Plough Inn, an 18-hole golf course and a lake used for water sports and fishing. Allerthorpe Common, to the west of the village, has a nature reserve.

Allerthorpe's Victorian Grade II listed Anglican parish church is dedicated to St Botolph.

From the mediaeval era until the 19th century Allerthorpe was part of Harthill Wapentake. Between 1894 and 1974 it was a part of the Pocklington Rural District, in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Between 1974 and 1996 it was part of the Borough of North Wolds (later Borough of East Yorkshire), in the county of Humberside.

The K6 telephone box on Main Street is Grade II listed.

Thomas Cooke, the machinist and optical instrument maker, was born here. There is a memorial stone to him near the church gate and a blue plaque was unveiled in the village hall in 2009.
