The parish was part of the Goole Rural District in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974, then in Boothferry district of Humberside until 1996.[5]

In 2000 the village was severely flooded, and made national news.[6] In February 2020, Gowdall along with other villages surrounding Snaith suffered from further flooding after the River Aire "over-topped".[7]

Each October, before 2017 when the annual festival permanently ceased to occur, Gowdall residents hosted a 'Scarecrow and Pumpkin Festival'.[8]

The village formerly had a public house called The Boot and Shoe Inn. It has been closed since 2018. Шаблон:Clear left
