Mullet Creek was formerly part of the locality of Littabella. It was named and bounded on 18 March 2005. [2]

Mullett Creek Provisional School opened circa August 1910 as a half-time school with Baffle Creek Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher between the two schools). Baffle Creek School closed in 1915, after which Mullett Creek Provisional school remained a half-time school with Arthur's Creek Provisional School. In 1916 it became a full-time school (no longer sharing its teacher). On 17 January 1920, it became Mullett Creek State School. It closed circa 1963. The school name sometimes appears as "Mullet" (one "t"). [5] Mullett Creek State School was east of the Mullett Creek railway station on Brandts Road (approx 24°39′19″S152°03′41″E / 24.65528°S 152.06148°E / -24.65528; 152.06148 (Mullett Creek State School (former)) ).
