The village of Bowning was one of the earliest settlements in the district.
The village grew during the laying of the railway in 1876. The historic railway station is a stately building much larger than any other in the region, which lends credit to the belief that at the time of its construction it was intended to be a main stop on the line. It is now a private residence, located across the road from the Commercial Hotel.
Other historic buildings include the “Troopers Cottage” on the Binalong Road and the old Cobb & Co Coaching Station on Bowning Road. The coaching station was built sometime between 1850 and 1870.
The local school was amongst the earliest established schools in inland New South Wales. It was founded in 1849.
On the outskirts of the village is Bowning Hill with an altitude of 796 metres above sea level. Reference was made to the outstanding landmark in the Journal of Hume & Hovell during the journey of exploration in 1824.
