Following European settlement, the history of the area is entwined with two famous pastoral homesteads in the vicinity of Allora: Glengallan and Talgai. Both properties raised sheep.^{[citation needed]}

The original "Talgai" run was taken up by E. E. Dalrymple in 1840. The creek that runs through Allora is named in his honour. Built in 1868 for the Clark family, Talgai Homestead stood on 300,000 acres (120,000 ha). The homestead is built of sandstone and covers sixty squares. It is now a bed and breakfast.^{[citation needed]}

Allora Post Office opened on 31 March 1863.
