The hotel was first licensed in 1871, and has played an important role in the community over the last 125 years as the working harbour of Port Adelaide grew into the modern city it is today.

The Cumby, as she is known to locals, was originally built at the edge of the Port Rivers swamp-front, directly across from Exmouth Road Exeter. As the 20th century neared, and the working Port grew and expanded, land was reclaimed to build the existing harbour, and the pub now stands on terra-firma, situated directly across from Glanville train station.

In those days, the hotel was used not only to serve its colonial ale but also as an auction house for the local land allotments, a coroners office when suspicious deaths occurred, a maternity facility, a meeting venue for town officials, new clubs, committees and disgruntled workers on the ship yards.
