The locality takes its name from its former railway station which was named by the Queensland Railways Department in 1887, because of its location at a road junction. [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 the Roadvale district being served by Roadvale railway station on the corner of Wilsons Plains Road and Redhill Road ( 27°54′59″S152°41′02″E / 27.9164°S 152.6839°E ). The line closed in June 1964. [4] [5]
Milbong Lutheran Church (also known as St Luke's Lutheran Church) opened on 23 September 1885. A new church (built on the site of the original church) was opened on 10 April 1906, while the old church was removed to be use as a barn but was later burned down. [6] The church closed in 1974 and the church building was removed, but the cemetery remains. [7] The church site and cemetery is on the Ispwich Boonah Road ( 27°55′56″S152°42′53″E / 27.9322°S 152.7147°E ). [8]
