The Hobart area was first settled by loggers in 1879, and originally known as "Vine Maple Valley". The name was changed when deemed too long by the Post Office.[4] The Hobart Post Office was first opened May 9, 1903 with William Sidebotham as first postmaster.[5] A coal mine also operated in the area as late as 1947.
