Excavations have identified Mesolithic and Neolithic settlement remains at Chapelfield.[3][4]

Cowie was formerly a pit village and stone quarrying was carried on in the surrounds. It is now the site of a factory manufacturing engineered wood products and other light industries.[5]

Recent years have seen significant new housing developments in the village for commuters.
