The Jardine chiefs were established at Applegarth by the 14th century, The original seat of the Jardines of Applegarth was at Spedlins Tower, constructed in the 15th century over the site of a previous tower which had been the family seat since the 12th century. In the early 19th century the family seat was moved across the River Annan to Jardine Hall. The 7th Baronet of Applegirth, Sir William Jardine (1800–1874), was a well known naturalist and geologist. There is believed to have been a church at Applegarthtown since the early 7th century. The current church, built in 1760, was closed in 2023 and was sold in 2025 by the Church of Scotland to the owners of the manse, who raised the purchase price by crowdfunding from Jardine family members and others. Friends of Applegarth Church has been registered as a charity.

It was renovated and reopened in 1994. The Applegarthtown Wildlife Sanctuary at nearby Dryfeholm was established in 1984 by converting a piece of low productivity agricultural land into a wetland to attract resident and migratory birds. An artificial sand bank was also created and this was colonised by sand martins. This has allowed scientists to study the breeding behaviour of the birds and has provided an example which has been replicated elsewhere.

Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit via a stopover in London and another in New York City. Shortly after 19:00 on 21 December 1988, the Boeing 747 Clipper Maid of the Seas was destroyed by a bomb while flying over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew aboard. Large sections of the aircraft crashed in a residential street in Lockerbie, killing 11 residents. With a total of 270 fatalities, the event, which became known as the Lockerbie bombing, is the deadliest terrorist attack in the history of the United Kingdom. Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in 1991. After protracted negotiations and United Nations sanctions, in 1999, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, the Netherlands. In 2001, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, a Libyan intelligence officer, was found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. His co-accused, Lamin Khalifah Fhimah, was acquitted. In 2009, Megrahi was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in 2012 as the only person to be convicted for the attack. In 2003, Gaddafi paid more than US$2 billion in compensation to the families of the victims of the Lockerbie bombing. Although Gaddafi maintained that he had never personally given the order for the attack, acceptance of Megrahi's status as a government employee was used to connect responsibility by Libya with a series of requirements laid out by a UN resolution for sanctions against Libya to be lifted. In 2011, during the First Libyan Civil War, former Minister of Justice Mustafa Abdul Jalil said that Gaddafi personally ordered the bombing. As all the accomplices required for such a complex operation were never identified, or convicted, many conspiracy theories have swirled, such as East German Stasi agents having a possible role in the attack. Some relatives of the dead, including Lockerbie campaigner Jim Swire, believe the bomb was planted at Heathrow Airport and not sent via feeder flights from Malta, as suggested by the US and UK governments. In 2020, US authorities indicted the Tunisian resident and Libyan national Abu Agila Masud, who was 37 years old at the time of the incident, for participating in the bombing. He was taken into custody in 2022, pleading not guilty in 2023. A federal trial is set for 2026. Pan Am 103 was the second Boeing 747 which was lost to a mid-air bombing, after Air India 182 in June 1985; while the Pan Am flight was a 747-100, the Air India flight was a 747-200. A previous 747, Pan Am Flight 93, was blown up on the ground in 1970 during the Dawson's Field hijackings, the first hull loss of a 747.
