The area now known as Durran Durra lies on the traditional lands of the Walbanga people, a group of the Yuin.
In 1827, James Ryrie took over land in the area, as a land grant authorized by Governor Darling. James died in 1840 and his property was consolidated with the nearby Ryrie family property, Arnprior, at neighbouring Larbert.
Durran Durra had a "half-time" school from 1872 to 1898, from 1904 to 1905 and from 1915 to 1921.
