Coley first appeared in the Wakefield court rolls in 1277. Once part of the parish of Halifax, it became an ecclesiastical parish in 1749. The parish church is St John the Baptist, with records suggesting a church on the site as early as 1513. The present building was constructed in 1816, and is a grade II listed building.
