The plaque commemorates 100 years of European settlement in the Maclagan District and was unveiled during the centenary celebrations in 1990. 

The township of Maclagan was surveyed on 17 May 1889. The town was originally named Bismarck after Otto von Bismarck until 1916 when it was renamed Maclagan due to the anti-German sentiment during World War One. The township was renamed Maclagan in honour of Brigadier Ewen George Sinclair-Maclagan (1868-1948).
