History
Mongarlowe was a substantial mining settlement during the mid-19th century due to the New South Wales gold rush. It was called Monga until 1891. It had a public school from 1863 to 1963.
Another population boom followed during the Depression when many returned to distill eucalyptus oil and search again for gold.
There was a proposal for a 98 lot subdivision in proximity to the village which was cancelled in 2008 under pressure from concerned residents. (wikipedia)
