Kaliurang was an important location of talks during the fighting between the Dutch and Indonesians in the 1940's, and the houses and holiday homes owned by Royalty in Yogyakarta were utilised.

Kaliurang has been a base for vulcanologists in their monitoring of eruptions of Merapi. In the 1970's there was an Observatory on the hill Plawangan - which lies closer to Merapi, but with eruptions in the 1990's Plawangan was abandoned and the observatory re-located into the town itself.

Kaliurang is a resort town, popular as a weekend destination for visitors from Yogyakarta. Attractions include the cool air, views, and an extensive forested park with trails. The town charges a small admission fee to visitors, paid at a booth on the busy main road from Yogyakarta.
