History

Barmoya Settlement State School opened on 31 August 1911. In 1935, it was renamed Barmoya East State School. It closed on 4 July 1969. [3] It was at 9 C H Barretts Road (corner of East Barmoya Road, 23°08′41″S150°32′38″E / 23.14461°S 150.54377°E / -23.14461; 150.54377 (Barmoya East State School (former)) ). [4] [5]

Barmoya Central State School opened on 28 August 1918. [6] In February 1930, the school was closed because it had only seven students; it was suggested that the school should be moved to a more central location. [7] In October 1931, it was proposed to relocate the school building to Rossmoya Road where 16 students could attend the school, [8] [9] but some parents thought it was too distant for their children to travel to and from the school each day. [10] [11] In June 1932, it was decided to move the school to Rossmoya Road, [12] but, in March 1933, the government said there were insufficient funds available to move the school at that time. [13] In September 1933, tenders were called to relocate the school. [14] The school was relocated in January 1934. [15] In 1936, it was renamed Wattlebank State School. [16] It closed in December 1959. [17] It was on the western side of Rossmoya Road (approx 23°07′49″S150°27′34″E / 23.13030°S 150.45931°E / -23.13030; 150.45931 (Wattlebank State School (former)) ) in Wattlebank. [18] [19]

The locality was officially named and bounded on 18 February 2000. [2]

In the 2016 census Barmoya had a population of 80 people. [1]
