The Mooloolah River forms part of the eastern boundary.[6]

History

The name Mooloolah comes from the Kabi language meaning either place of black snakes or place of snapper.[3][7]

In early 1861 the tender of Edmund Lander was accepted, by the Commissioner for Crown Lands, for the pastoral run of Mooloolah Plains in the Wide Bay and Burnett District.[8] A year later the lease was transferred to John Westaway.[9]

Lander went on to select 80 acres (32 hectares) in 1869 on the main coach road between Brisbane and Gympie at the Mooloolah Bridge. On this property the Mooloolah Post Office was established in 1872.[10][11][12]

The town of Mooloolah was surveyed in 1884 by J.E. Palisser.[3] The locality was originally called Mooloolah but this was changed to Mooloolah Valley on 2 June 1995.[2]

Mooloolah Provisional School opened on 6 February 1894 with an initial enrolment of 28 students under head teacher Agnes May Black. On 1 January 1909, it became Mooloolah State School.[13][14]

St Thomas' Anglican Church was dedicated on 22 April 1927 by Archdeacon Glover.[15][16][17]

Glasshouse Country Uniting Church opened its church at Beerwah on 16 December 2000. It was a result of the merger of the Glasshouse Uniting Church, Beerwah Uniting Church, Landsborough Uniting Church and Mooloolah Uniting Church.[18]
