History
The Aboriginals knew Carrington as “mud crab”. Earliest industry here was fishing and gathering oysters and mud crabs. To begin with, Carrington used to be under the water at high tide and evolved slowly by dumping activity of ships, which saw the island emerge out of the dumped mud. People started settling in the area in the 1860s, and it soon grew as a residential area. It started developing into a prosperous suburb.
After being declared a Municipality in 1887, Carrington held its first Council meeting in 1988.
In the early 20th century, steel workers started to move in this area due to the presence of BHP, which is the world’s largest mining company and has its headquarters at Melbourne, Australia. Later the population further swelled with the presence of the Carrington Hydraulic Power Station.  This Power Station is one of the oldest and most important landmarks in Carrington and was built in the year 1877. Thus, the area has been a hub of industrial and commercial activities.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, most of the population was hit badly due to loss of employment. But, the area developed rapidly in the later 20th century.
