The area of Adjungbilly was originally referred to as Nadjongbilla, from the Wiradjuri word nadjong meaning water; and billa meaning creek, therefore referring to the area's creek with its permanent water supply.[3]
The area has a Community Hall and a small isolated primary school named the Bongongo Public School probably in relation to the nearby Bongongo Station.
