History
A settlement of 24 households was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086; for many centuries it was also known as St George. The name Gordano comes from Old English and is descriptive of the triangular shape of the whole valley from Clevedon to Portishead, being the ablative singular of the Latinised form of Gorden meaning muddy valley.
Easton in Gordano was an ancient parish in the Portbury Hundred. The parish also included the village of Pill. It became a civil parish in 1866.
After the Second World War a large housing development grew up in the Lodway area, northwest of Pill village. Construction of the M5 motorway included the nearby Gordano service area.
