Koetong was surveyed in 1885 but not proclaimed until 1952.[2] Tin and gold mining has been sporadically carried out in the area since 1873.[3]
The local state school first opened in 1890 and after several temporary closures, closed permanently in 2003.[2] The town is an access point to nearby Mount Lawson State Park.[4]
