Aborigines knew about the wombat for thousands of years before European settlement.

There are three species of wombat, and the date of discovery of the first Common Wombat is unknown, but it was first scientifically described by George Shaw in 1800.

The southern hairy nosed wombat was first described in 1845. The endangered northern hairy nosed wombat was first discovered at Epping Forest station in Queensland in 1937.
