The Federal Highway passes through the Parish of Tarago to the north of Rowes Lagoon. Currawang Road is another major road in the area.
The Tarago area was first inhabited by the Gundungurra people.[4][5][6] In the mid-1840s, the NSW colonial government granted numerous land grants in the area, marking the beginning of white settlement on this land.
