The wharf was originally built in 1879 using local timber and was a major landmark of the town - a hive of industry. Throughout the riverboat era Wentworth was the busiest inland port within NSW (third busiest port after Sydney & Newcastle). During one week 31 steamers were docked at the wharf.
The original wharf deteriorated and was demolished in 1983. This similar replica (including the little customes office) now stands in its place.
