The area that became the present town of Camargo was part of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Reservation until it was opened for non-Indian settlement on April 19, 1892. A Camargo post office was established on September 16, 1892. A weekly mail route to Camargo from Ioland using the Grand post office was made in 1893.

Bentonite was mined in the area and shipped on the railroad until the railroad ceased operating in 1972–73.
