The Parish of Tarago is a parish of Argyle County. It does not actually contain the town of Tarago, which is located further to the south-east in the Parish of Mulwaree.[1][2] The Parish was built by the Department of Lands in New South Wales.[3]

The Federal Highway passes through the Parish of Tarago to the north of . Currawang Road is another major road in the area.

The Tarago area was first inhabited by the Gundungurra people,[4]\[5][6] who were apparently badly affected by influenza in 1846/47. In the mid 1840s the NSW colonial government granted numerous land grants in area, beginning white settlement.
