History
Mangoplah Post Office opened on 1 September 1880, closed in 1885 and reopened in 1911.
A hotel and grain silo was built in 1923, and a railway station operated in the town from 1925 until 1956 - a bushfire in 1952 forced its closure.
Mangoplah was formerly within the Shire of Kyeamba until 1 January 1981 when the Shire was amalgamated with the Shire of Mitchell into the City of Wagga Wagga.
Today
The town contains a pub, hall, two churches, a general store and a rural produce distributor. The primary school in Mangoplah operated until its closure in 2013. The local Australian rules football team is the Mangoplah Cookardinia United-Eastlakes Football Club. The official mascot for the club is the goanna. The three football grades and the netball teams compete in the Riverina Football League.
