 Starting from the early Middle Ages the village was attached to Criquebeuf-en-Caux, where the church, the cemetery and the school were located, several kilometres away from Yport.Only in the 19th century did the commune of Yport come into existence, primarily because of the construction of the church.Officially, the commune of Yport was created on January 1, 1843 and its first mayor was Jean-Baptiste Feuilloley.
