Permanent settlement began in 1952 with the founding of the Rose River Mission by local Aboriginal communities and the Church Missionary Society.[citation needed]
The Mission operated until the 1970s when community control passed to the Numbulwar Numburindi Community Council.
The community consists of a general store, a police station, a community school, an engine repair shop, a post office and about 670 residents.[citation needed] Formerly, Mission Aviation Fellowship had a base in Numbulwar which provided air services for the community, but now residents use commercial companies for this service.[citation needed]
