The town has a unique history as gold mining in the late the 1860's led to establishment of the township and in 1869 Cargo was proclaimed a goldfield. During the period of 1869 - 1899 the town swelled to a population of around 7,000 and boasted three hotels, a bank, several business houses, three churches, two schools, a flour mill, community hall, butter factory, gold crushing plant, a racecourse and sporting grounds for tennis, cricket and football.

The village today offers visitors and residents a chance to relax with a slower pace of life, whilst still enjoying the services of a General Store/Post Office, primary school, church and hotel. The facilities of nearby Orange are but a short drive away.
