The Old Port of Cossack was established when Walter Padbury, the first settler in the region, charted the harbour and named it Tien Tsin after the barque which had brought him to the area. In the early days it was also known as Port Walcott, North District and The Landing.

In 1871 the name was changed to Cossack in honour of the ship which carried the Western Australian Governor, Sir Frederick Weld, to the area. The townsite was officially declared in 1872 and by 1887 a horse drawn tramway had been built connecting the port with the town of Roebourne.
