The first mention of South Elmsall is in the Domesday Book and is referred to as "Ermeshale", which means the village was under Norman domination; before all this on Field Lane a Stromatolite Reef dating back to the Permion period was discovered by geological experts; on the west side of the reef was sand, and on the east side was Sea which stretched as far as Holland and Germany.
South Elmsall had a local Hero in John Morris born 1619, who at an early age progressed through the ranks from different skirmishes to the rank of Colonel in the Civil War and best remembered for taking Pontefract Castle from the Parliamentarians in 1648.
Up until the early 1800s, South Elmsall was a small farming community with stone cottages nestled in a valley. Lime quarrying was the main industry, but coal soon replaced it and attracted workers from all over, necessitating the construction of homes and schools to accommodate the expanding population.
Around 1800, South Elmsall served as the region's principal settlement.
With easy access to both Doncaster and Wakefield thanks to the nearby railway station on the Leeds/Wakefield line, South Elmsall is today a bustling market town between the two.
The Frickley Cricket and Football Clubs are also well-known in the town.
