History

The site of the town of Kulpi was part of a selection made by Fred Beckmann from the Rosalie Plains pastoral run.

The settlement was originally known as Rosalie, however the name was soon changed to Kulpi, to avoid confusion with the Rosalie Plains Homestead, which was a small town in itself. [6]

The town takes its name from its railway station name assigned to 9 January 1913 by the Queensland Railways Department. It is an reportedly an Aboriginal word meaning box tree [2] [7] or charred logs. [6]
