The name
Teviotville is derived from the name of its railway station, which was named by the
Queensland Railway Department in 1887, which in turn was named after the major watercourse in the area, Teviot Brook. The brook in turn was named on 6 August 1828 by explorer
Allan Cunningham after the
River Teviot in
Roxburghshire, Scotland. Teviotville Railway Station Provisional School opened on 1 August 1899 with 25 students under teacher Miss M.J.A. Alcorn. In 1903 it was renamed Teviotville Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Teviotville State School. A new school building was opened on 13 March 1914 by
Ernest Thomas Bell, the Member of the
Queensland Legislative Assembly for
Fassifern. It was on the south-west corner of Hoya Road and Haag Road (). It closed on 11 December 1981 due to low student numbers. Cross of Christ Lutheran Church was built from timber in 1909. In 1969, it was relocated to
Boonah to form a church with St Matthew's from
Hoya. St Therese of the Child Jesus Catholic Church was built in 1936 at a cost of £260. It was the 125th church opened by Duhig. It was later relocated to another part of the diocese. == Demographics ==
