History

The suburb takes its name from the former Munbilla railway station, whose name was "coined" in 1886 by the Queensland Railways Department using the Yuggera words mun (meaning much) and billa (meaning water) to mean a large lagoon. [2]

The Fassifern railway line (Queensland's first branch railway line) opened from Ipswich to Harrisville on 10 July 1882. On 12 September 1887 the line was extended to Dugundan with Munbilla being served by Munbilla railway station on Macfarlane Road ( 27°52′16″S152°39′22″E / 27.8711°S 152.6561°E / -27.8711; 152.6561 (Munbilla railway station) ). The line closed in June 1964. [4] [5]

The Mount Edwards branch line branched off from the Fassifern line immediately south of the Munbilla railway station ( 27°52′17″S152°39′23″E / 27.8714°S 152.6563°E / -27.8714; 152.6563 (Junction with Mount Edwards line) ). The Mount Edwards line opened to Kalbar on 17 April 1916 and to Mount Edwards on 7 October 1922. The Mount Edwards line closed in 1960. [6] [7]

At the 2011 census the locality and surrounds recorded a population of 434. [8]
