This small village boasts a number of heritage listed timber buildings dating from the closing of the heyday of the timber industry.
In the 1850's Wardell was a cedar getters settlement known as 'Blackwall' where two sawmills operated and the river trade flourished. The place name was later changed to Wardell in preference for the Aboriginal name Bingal.
When the availability a red cedar diminished the opportunity arose for the planting of sugar cane. Sugar remains the main industry that supports this area today.
