Archookoora takes its name from the former Archookoora railway station on the former Tarong railway line. It was named on 25 September 1915 by the Queensland Railways Department after a local property, whose name in turn was possibly derived from Kaibara words "Ngaitu Kuri" meaning turn or which way.
