The town was established in 1853 and became a hub for timber and shipbuilding industries. The town became a hub for the Wilsons Cement Works in 1884, after the closure and with roading improvements in the 1930s it transitioned into a commercial and service hub for the surrounding rural area. Warkworth was the main settlement in Rodney County and was the seat of local governance for many years.
