Walgett takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning 'the meeting place of two rivers'. The first post office was gazetted for "Wallgett on the Barwin River" in 1851. The town of Walgett was proclaimed on 20 March 1885. Walgett was a port in the late 19^th century for paddle steamers that plied the Murray-Darling river system. The first steamer reached Walgett in 1861 and travelled to the town regularly until 1870.
