William Dangar and Edward Gostwyck Cory explored the area around Danglemah in 1830. In 1832 Edward Gostwyck Cory cut a track over the Moonbi range that the existing highway has generally followed. Then by 1834 the first squatters began farming the area.

Danglemah is the site of a closed railway platform on the Main North railway line in New South Wales, Australia. The platform was open between 1897 and 1985, initially as Jamieson's Siding, being renamed in 1918.
