The town emerged from the merger of Municipality of Narrabri and Namoi Shire in 1981 into a single administrative unit. This consolidation created a larger governance structure for managing regional services more effectively.
The population includes a substantial Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, representing 10.7 percent of local residents according to demographic records.
