In October 1880, local landowner William Horne established the post office on section 195B, named Tarcowie East. It was renamed Hornsdale in 1882.[2]

The locality is now home to the 99-turbine Hornsdale Wind Farm operated by Neoen, and the Hornsdale Energy Reserve operated by Tesla, which is known as the world's largest lithium-ion battery.
