Before European settlement the area was inhabited by the Gumbaynggirr. European settlement of the area followed on from the early timber cutters in the 1860s. The first official European in the district was Land Commissioner Oakes who sighted the mouth of the Bellinger River. The name Dorrigo is derived from the Aboriginal word, dondorrigo, meaning "stringy-bark".
