Our History
The Cobargo Co-op has been a fixture in the community in one form or another since 1900, and we’re trying to preserve the history before it becomes lost. If you have any information, especially old photographs of the Co-op in earlier years, we would love to hear your stories and see your photos.
Here’s what we know about our history:
The Cobargo Co-op began as a butter factory on the Cobargo-Bermagui roadside in November 1901. It was known as The Cobargo District Cooperative Creamery Butter Company Limited at the time, and its first directors were Frederick George Roberts, George Edmond Smith, Daniel Tarlinton, Francis William Tarlinton, James Tarlinton, Thomas Tarlinton and Robert Welsh, all of Cobargo. Within 12 months, the Co-op had 50 farm suppliers.
The original factory burned down in the mid 1920’s and was replaced in 1927 by the building which still stands today on Bermagui Road.
In 1951, the name was changed to Cobargo Co-operative Society Limited.
As you can see, there are many gaps in this history. We would love your assistance to fill some of those gaps. Please contact us today if you know more.
