The Main West railway line reached Nevertire in 1882 and the local pub was already trading before the town was surveyed in 1883.

The village is now served by three CountryLink Coach services: one to Bourke, one to Nyngan and one to Cobar/Broken Hill.

There is a large grain handling facility on the railway line, operated by GrainCorp, and served by Pacific National trains.

Nevertire Public school closed at the conclusion of the 2002 academic year, due to a lack of enrolments.

The village is the subject of Betty Casey's poem Nevertire[3] and Henry Lawson once described it as the edge of the Great Grey Plain.
