Although there is evidence of Roman activity in the area,[2] the history of Uppermill is dominated by the expansion of wool and cotton spinning into the area during the Industrial Revolution, with the construction of several mills.[3] Uppermill Civic Hall was completed in 1859.[4]

From 1894 to 1900 Upper Mill was an urban district.[5] In 1894 Upper Mill became a civil parish, being formed from the part of Saddleworth in Upper Mill Urban District, on 1 April 1900 the parish was abolished and merged with Saddleworth.[6]
