History

Before European settlement, which began around 1862, the land was occupied by the Wangerriburra Clan of the Yugambeh language group. The name Yarrabilba comes from the Wangerriburra/Bundjalung language for place of song. The area contained two bora rings where ceremonies involving singing took place. [3]

The Beaudesert railway line passing through the area to Canungra operated from 1915 to 1955. [8]
