Balterley originally was a township within the ancient parish of Barthomley, which mainly lay over the Staffordshire and Cheshire border in Cheshire. On the re-organisation of this ancient parish in 1866, the parish was formed, leaving Barthomley civil parish entirely in Cheshire. In 1965, there was a minor change in the county border of Staffordshire with Cheshire, with Balterley parish exchanging small areas of land with Weston, Cheshire East, Weston civil parish (in the Cheshire East area). Additionally, some land was lost to Chorlton, Crewe and Nantwich, Chorlton civil parish, also in Cheshire East.
