History

The name Murrumba is an Aboriginal word combination, in the Kabi language, meaning good spirit or good place. [2]

Murrumba State School opened on 6 September 1910. It closed on 8 March 1964. [3] [4] It was located approximately 27°11′58″S152°29′22″E / 27.1995°S 152.4894°E / -27.1995; 152.4894 (Murrumba State School (former)) on Murrumba Road. That section of Murrumba Road no longer exists as it was realigned due to the construction of Lake Wivenhoe, but originally the road continued east to the Murrumba Bridge over the Brisbane River. [5] The school's location is now in the foreshore area of the lake and hence part of the locality of Lake Wivenhoe. [6] [7] [8]

In the 2016 census, Murrumba had a population of 16 people. [1]
