It is the original site of Tallangatta. In 1956, the town was relocated to a new site on higher ground 8 kilometres (5 mi) away, to allow for an increase in the height of the Hume Dam, which resulted in a nine metre rise^[2] in the level of the water in Lake Hume.^[3]

Some people still live in the part of Old Tallangatta that was above the new high-water mark.^[3] At the 2016 census, Old Tallangatta had a population of 35.^[1]
