The name Mutdapilly is believed to be a combination word from the Yuggera language (Yugarabul dialect) where mudtherri means sticky or muddy and pilly means gully. [3] [2] The name was given by Captain Patrick Logan on 9 June 1827. [5]

Local farmer, Mr Denman, donated 2 acres of land to build a school.

The school was renamed Mutdapilly State School on 1 April 1968. [6] [7] [8]

St Aidan's Church of England was built in Mutdapilly in 1921. It was a timber church building, designed by Charles Chauvel (the Australian filmmaker).
