At the time of the Norman conquest, Poulton was a small agricultural settlement in the hundred of Amounderness.

The church of St Chad was recorded in 1094, when it was endowed to Lancaster Priory.

In 1837, the town was described as the "metropolis of the Fylde", but its commercial importance waned from the mid-19th century with the development of the nearby coastal towns of Fleetwood and Blackpool.

There are rail links to Blackpool and Preston, and bus routes to the larger towns and villages of the Fylde.

There is a farmers' market once a month. and since October 2011 there has been a weekly market on Mondays in the centre of the town.
