The area was well known in the early days for its timber cutting and sawmills. Timber was collected from the lakes and rivers by the logpunts (droghers).

History

Indigenous Peoples

The Tuncurry area is part of the traditional lands of the Worimi Nation, whose territory extends from Port Stephens in the north to Forster and Tuncurry, with the Biripi people as the adjacent group to the south. These Gathang-speaking peoples, including dialects such as Birrbay and Warrimay, have inhabited the coastal regions of New South Wales for at least 40,000 years, as evidenced by archaeological findings across Australia indicating continuous Aboriginal occupation since that period. The and Biripi maintained a lifestyle deeply integrated with the local environment, relying on resources from Wallis Lake, the Coolongolook River, and Nine Mile Beach for sustenance. They harvested and fish using canoes, spears, and hooks made from shell or , with mullet and flathead among key species; the name "Tuncurry" derives from the local Aboriginal language, meaning "," reflecting the abundance in these waters. Seasonal migrations occurred between coastal and inland areas, and low-tide crossings of Wallis Lake facilitated movement and resource access. Spiritual connections to the land were embodied in stories, where ancestral beings shaped local landforms, rivers, and ecosystems, guiding cultural practices and totemic responsibilities such as those linked to sharks or other sea creatures. Cultural heritage includes oral histories, dances like corroborees, and myths tied to specific sites, preserving knowledge of the landscape's creation and use. Archaeological evidence, such as shell middens and stone tools near Tuncurry and Forster, attests to long-term occupation and feasting practices at these locations. severely impacted these communities, with diseases like and displacement leading to significant population dispersal by 1816, reducing numbers from an estimated 800–1,000 in 1788 to around 240–300 by 1840 in the broader Biripi and areas.

European Settlement and Development

European settlement in Tuncurry began in 1875 with the arrival of John Wright, a Scottish-born shipbuilder and sawmiller, who became the area's first permanent European resident. Wright established a and on the waterfront, capitalizing on the abundant local timber resources from surrounding forests of ti-tree and cabbage tree palms, which fueled a boom in the timber industry and supported early activities. Initially known as North Forster or North Shore, the settlement served as a resource hub connected to nearby Forster across the Coolongolook River. In 1891, the area was renamed Tuncurry, adopting the local Worimi Aboriginal term believed to mean "plenty of fish," reflecting the region's rich that also supported early industries. The settlement was formally proclaimed a village in 1893, marking its official recognition and spurring further infrastructure like the construction of a , hall, and ice works in the following years. To enhance connectivity with Forster, a punt service commenced operations in 1890 using an open rowing boat for passengers and later vehicles, operating reliably for nearly seven decades and facilitating trade in timber, fish, and other goods.
