History

The locality presumably takes its name from the surrounding parish of Tarameo, which in turn takes its name from the Taromeo pastoral station which was named in 1842 by Simon Scott. It is probably a corruption of the Waka language word tarum meaning wild lime tree. [3]

Taromeo was opened for selection on 17 April 1877; 14,500 acres (5,900 ha) were available. [4]

Taromeo State School opened on 18 October 1909 on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site. [5] [6] [7] In 1924, it had an enrolment of 26 students. [8] It closed on 1 February 1942 as there was no accommodation for the teacher. [9] [10] It was on the eastern side of Old Esk Road (approx 26°50′35″S152°09′50″E / 26.8431°S 152.16379°E / -26.8431; 152.16379 (Taromeo State School (former)) ). [11] [12]

Taromeo Soldiers' Settlement State School opened in November 1934. It closed on 19 March 1944. [9] [13] Despite its name, the school was on the northern side of Greenwood Creek Road in present-day East Nanango (approx 26°41′38″S152°02′06″E / 26.69400°S 152.03489°E / -26.69400; 152.03489 (Taromeo Soldiers' Settlement State School (former)) ). [14] [15]
