Local History
European settlement along the Wilson River began in the 1820s in association with the penal settlement at Port Macquarie. The area played an important role in the logging of the surrounding forests and establishing agricultural farms. Several old wharves can still be seen with the best-preserved on the south bank of the Wilson River alongside the traffic bridge at Log Wharf Reserve. The township was named for the telegraph line which crossed the river in 1869.
