Nulkaba “Place of iron stone” Is the name used to describe the area by the Darkinjung Aboriginal people. In 1884-85 a village was laid out and called 'The Village of Pokolbin'. By 1890 it was known as Cessnock. That name was transferred to the town now known as Cessnock in 1908. The local name, Nulkaba, was officially adopted in 1927 and by that time the farmland to the west had become known as Pokolbin. Never has the establishment of a place name been so confusing
