The place-name ''Penistone'' is first attested in the

of 1086, where it appears as ''Pengeston(e)'' and ''Pangeston''; later sources record it as ''Peningston''. It may mean "the farmstead at the hill called Penning", in reference to the high ridge immediately south of the town. This combines the Brittonic word ''penn'' (meaning a head, end, or height) with the Old English suffix ''ing'' and the word ''tun'' (meaning a farmstead or village). Penistone has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place-names because it contains the letter sequence "

Penistone became a railway junction, with a depot for engineering trains. Penistone station had frequent train services to Manchester, Sheffield and Huddersfield. Penistone's 29-arch viaduct was built in 1849 by Messrs. Ingham and Bower. Stone was obtained from Walk Mill Bank, Oxspring, and was conveyed by a tramway on the side of the River Don. The second and third arches of Penistone Viaduct collapsed on 2 February 1916, when heavy rain weakened the foundations; the driver and fireman of a stationary goods locomotive were able to jump clear and survive the collapse. Cracks in the parapet had been observed some days earlier. The viaduct was repaired and was back in service in August of the same year.
