Wilson Valley is a rural locality in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Wilson Valley had a population of 20 people. [1]
The locality is loosely bounded from the north to the south-east by the Bin Bin Range. [3]

The locality takes its name from its school, which was named Wilson Valley after Sam Wilson, described as the "founder of the valley" and who was then enlisted for military service in World War I. [5]
Although approval to establish the school was refused in July 1916 due to some of the students leaving the district resulting in too few students for the 18 required to establish a school, [6] Mr J. Stines offered to building a provisional school building at his own expanse on his own land, an offer accepted by the government. [7] Wilson Valley Provisional School opened on 4 October 1916 under teacher Mrs W. Brown junior. [8] [9] In June 1918, the government agreed to erect a state school building. [10] On 1 October 1918, it became Wilson Valley State School. [11] [12] In 1930, a new school building was erected at the school, [13] and in 1931, the old school building was relocated to Abercorn State School. [14] The school closed on 14 May 1944. [15] [16] It was on Fowlers Road ( 25°33′02″S151°50′19″E / 25.55058°S 151.83853°E ). [17] [18] [19]
