The locality was gazetted as Montagu Swamp in 1957, and re-gazetted as Togari in 1965. Togari had been used as a Parish name since the 1890s. It is believed to be an Aboriginal word for “summit” or “crown”.[2]
The area was used as a soldier settlement.[3]
The Arthur River forms most of the southern boundary. The Montagu River flows through from east to north-west and then forms part of the western boundary.[4]
Route A2 (Bass Highway) runs through from east to west.[2][5]
