Its boundaries which were created in January 1999 for the “long established name” which is derived from Warburto Point, a headland which is located on the locality’s coastline. Sections of Warburto were severed and added to Cross Roads, North Moonta and Paramatta in August 2014 to "better align postal delivery and to reflect historical associations". It once had a railway station on the former Wallaroo railway line.
