The Luggate Creek which runs through the middle of the village was named by Surveyor J.T. Thompson after Luggate Water, a small stream in Berwickshire and the township gets its name from the stream.
Luggate Village was born when Henry Maidman built the first hotel there in 1869 as a stop over point for wagons on the way from Cromwell to Wanaka. It was a warm sheltered corner and was a popular stopping place.
