The Romans founded a settlement probably called Ad Abum in this area. It was where Ermine Street, the major Roman road between Londinium and Lincoln, terminated on the south bank of the Humber. Travellers then crossed the river by way of a ferry or low-tide ford to Petuaria on the north bank where a Roman road continued on to Eboracum and Hadrian's Wall. A pre-Roman ridgeway, called Yarlesgate or Earlsgate, may have also resumed here on its route south and south-west towards the Midlands and South West England.
The village, and its neighbour Winterton to the south, were possibly named after Wintra – the first King of Lindsey.
