It is name after the crossing over the River Orchy, which was constructed by British Army during the pacification of the Highland Clans following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Military roads were built between the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands of northern Scotland to facilitate the speedy movement of Crown forces. The village, which is dated to 1751, is on the A82 road. The nearby Bridge of Orchy opened on the West Highland Line in 1894.
