Crosby Villa is a hamlet in the civil parish of Crosscanonby in Cumbria, United Kingdom.
[4] During the Roman period, there was a settlement near to the site of modern Crosby Villa called Garborough.
The modern village was built to provide housing for miners at Rosegill and Bullgill coal mines during the 19th century.
In addition to the seventy terraced houses, a chapel, shops, and a post office were provided, along with allotments for gardening.
A road haulage firm called Duncan Hill was established in nearby Dearham in 1951, and later relocated to Crosby Villa, from where it continues to operate.
