==History==
The Tarcutta area was first visited by the European explorers Hume and Hovell as they passed through on their way from Sydney to Port Phillip in the Colony of Victoria. On 7 January 1825, near the present site of Tarcutta, they met a group of Wiradjuri Aborigines.
A decade after this first European contact around 1835-37, 'Hambledon', a U-shaped slab house was built at Tarcutta. It was the first inn and post office to be built between Gundagai and Albury. Tarcutta Post Office opened on 1 January 1849. By the 1880s Tarcutta locals actively lobbying for a rail branch line from Wagga Wagga to Tumbarumba via Tarcutta. By 1917 the Tumbarumba branch line became a reality though a section of the line sustained major flood damage in 1974 and the remainder of the line was closed in 1987.
