The town had the distinction of being the smallest local government area of New South Wales until 2000 when it amalgamated with the Nymboida Shire to form Pristine Waters Shire, which later merged with Copmanhurst, Grafton and Maclean Shires to become the Clarence Valley Council.[1]

Ulmarra's name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "Bend in the river".

The Ulmarra Ferry was a vehicular cable ferry, which crosses the Clarence River from a point about north of Ulmarra, to Southgate on the north bank. It closed in June 2024.[2]
