Bigga is a small village on the western side of the Abercrombie Mountains. The name Bigga is thought to originate as a shortened version of the Biggs Grant.
The earliest explorer into the Bigga area was James Meehan who passed through in 1820. During the 1850s there was a land boom and numerous families added to the three original families of the area, the McGuinesses, Blackmans and Hearnes. After this the area again did not attract new settlers until the 1880s. Bigga village was proclaimed in 1892.
