The Wallumedegal people inhabited the land in the area now known as Carlingford prior to settlement by Europeans with the first recorded contact being made by an exploration party several months after the arrival of the First Fleet in January 1788.

Early European settlers in the district included convicts William Mobbs, George Spurway, Joseph Eyles and later Parramatta-born Frederick Charles Cox. William Mobbs arrived as a convict per Barwell on 18 May 1798. His wife and children arrived in 1801 and the following year he acquired 30 acres of land on what is now the western side of Marsden Road overlooking the Dundas Valley. Mobbs established an orchard as well as mixed cropping such as wheat on his property which he called Orange Grove. The venture proved to be very successful enabling him to expand his holdings and by 1828 Mobbs had amassed an estate of over 700 acres and was renowned in the colony for the quality of his citrus fruit. The area around his property soon became known as Mobbs Hill.
