The Queensland Department of Lands named the area when Crown land near the beach was sub divided into allotments for auction after 1915 - the first home in Tugun village was built in 1916. The construction of a coastal road linking Southport to Coolangatta in the 1920s was a major achievement for the Main Roads Commission.
The age of the mass produced motor car provided the impetus for developing beach properties and accommodation facilities in areas such as Tugun and Bilinga.
When F.S. Charles constructed the Seaside Hotel at Tugun in 1925 he could boast that facilities included a first class septic system and electricity, with a winter tariff in 1925 of three guineas a week or ten shillings a day. In 1926, the Diamond family took over the management of the hotel and a little later when the hotel burnt to the ground, Paddi Diamond purchased the site and rebuilt facilities at the cost of 14,000 pounds.
Over the years the Tugun Hotel underwent many changes, but survives today as a landmark in the area. With features which ensured that the area retained its identity, the Tugun area could boast of having its own hotel, a railway station, a surf life saving club and a general store.
The dairy and banana farms however, which dated from the early years, disappeared as the land was subdivided into areas such as the Currumbin Estates in the late 1950's.
