History
Mundubbera pastoral run was established in 1848. A town reserve was established in 1861, but closer settlement did not occur until the early 1900s, spurred by the imminent arrival of the railway. Beeron (or Beerone) pastoral run was established by 1856. Brovinia (or Brorinia) pastoral run was established about 1850. Boondooma pastoral run was established in 1846. A large part of Boondooma was resumed for closer settlement in 1885. Burrandowan pastoral run was established in 1843. It occupied at least part of what is now the locality of Durong. Parts of Burrandowan were resumed in the 1890s to encourage closer settlement. Further resumptions were made in 1917 to provide land for the Soldier Settlement Scheme. == Intersecting state-controlled road ==
