Forrest grew around a railway opened in 1891, which supported four local sawmills before closing in 1957. The town was renamed from Yaugher to honour Charles Lamond Forrest, the colonial MLA who advocated for the rail link.
The surrounding Otway Ranges are home to Australian king parrots, crimson rosellas, grey swamp wallabies, and echidnas. Koalas have also been released into the area, adding to the diverse fauna.
