History

Cambroon takes its name from the pastoral run of the same name, which was established in 1855 by J. D. MacTaggart. [3] The name of the pastoral run is believed to be the name of an Aboriginal leader at the time of first contact. [4]

In 1887, 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) of land were resumed from the Cambroon pastoral run for the establishment of small farms. The land was offered for selection on 17 April 1887. [5]

Cambroon Provisional School opened on 5 February 1923 and became Cambroon State School on 1 December 1924. The school closed in May 1944. [6] [7]
