History

Children marching in the main street, ca. 1915

Baranggum (also known as Barrunggam, Barunggam Parrungoom and Murrumgama) is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Baranggum people. The Baranggum language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Western Downs Regional Council, particularly Dalby, Tara, Jandowae and west towards Chinchilla.[14]

Dalby was founded in the early 1840s at a place known locally as "The Crossing" on Myall Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River. The first settler was Henry Dennis, who explored the region and chose land for himself and others in the locality.[15] Today an obelisk in Edward Street denotes the location where Dennis camped.[5]

A small settlement was founded to assist travellers heading north to nearby Jimbour Station. The explorer Ludwig Leichhardt visited the area in 1844, on his way to Port Essington.[16]

In February 1853, the New South Wales government sent the Deputy Surveyor General Captain Samuel Perry to the area to survey a township. In August of the following year, Charles Douglas Eastaughffe arrived with a document under the Seal of the NSW Government officially proclaiming 'Dalby' a township. Eastaughffe was later appointed Chief Constable and remained in Dalby until his retirement.[17]

The name of the town is believed to come from the village of Dalby on the Isle of Man and reflects immigration from the Isle of Man in the mid-19th century.[15] The name was apparently chosen by Captain Samuel Perry when he surveyed the settlement in 1853.

Myall Creek Post Office also opened in 1854 in Roche's store, with Mr. Simpson as the first postmaster. It was renamed Dalby in 1855.[16][18]

In 1859, Dalby became part of the new Colony of Queensland.

Dalby State School, circa 1954

Dalby State School opened on 1 June 1861. In 1869, the school split into Dalby Boys State School Dalby Girls State School. In 1885, the girls' school became Dalby Girls & Infants State School. In 1893, the two schools were combined as Dalby State School. In 1914, the school expanded to include a secondary school, which closed in 1954, due to the establishment of a separate secondary school, Dalby State High School.[19][20]

In August 1863, Dalby was officially proclaimed a municipality, the Borough of Dalby, in the Queensland Government Gazette.

Dalby Non-Vested School opened as a Roman Catholic girls school in 1864 and in 1866 became a non-vested school (the teachers' salaries were paid by the Queensland Government but the government did not operate the school). Circa 1880, the school either closed or continued without government funding.[19]

On Sunday 5 August 1866, Bishop James Quinn dedicated St Joseph's Catholic Church.[21]

Dalby was linked by the Western railway line to Ipswich on 16 April 1868.[22]

On Sunday 20 June 1869, the first Presbyterian church was opened in Dalby.[23] Reverend George Grimm had conducting regular services since 1865.[24]

St Columba's School was a Catholic primary school which was opened in 1877 by the Sisters of Mercy. In 2008, it merged with St Mary's College to create Our Lady of the Southern Cross College.[19]

From 1873 to 1949, the electoral district of Dalby was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland.

Mocatta's Corner Provisional School opened on circa 1887. On 1 January 1909, it became Mocatta's Corner State School. It closed in 1925.[19] It was on the south-west corner of the junction of Dalby Cooyar Road and Mocattas Corner Road (27°07′00″S 151°21′44″E / 27.11677°S 151.36232°E / -27.11677; 151.36232 (Mocatta's Corner State School (former))).[25][26]

Dalby was believed to have a healthy climate and in October 1900 the Queensland Government opened the Jubilee Sanitorium for consumptive patients. The name Jubilee commemorates the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.[27][28] In 1904 the Dalby Town Council erected therapeutic thermal baths using artesian water from a local bore for those wishing to improve their health by "taking the waters".[29] In 1938, the council closed the artesian baths as interest in "taking the waters" was declining. Medical opinion became increasingly doubtful of the benefits of bathing in mineral waters, favouring drugs and physiotherapy as better treatments.[30] It closed in January 1938 with its remaining patients transferred to Westwood Sanatorium.[28][31]

Kincora Provisional School opened in 1908 "via Dalby" and was renamed Moonie River Provisional School circa December 1908. It closed circa 1916.[32]

Dalby Methodist Church, circa 1935

On 8 December 1912, the Dalby Methodist Church in Condamine Street was officially opened by the Reverend Henry Youngman, the President of the Queensland Methodist Conference.[33][34][35] In March 1949 it was announced that a new church would be built with the original church to be moved on the site and be used as a church hall.[36] On 1 October 1949 the foundation stone for the new Dalby Methodist Church was laid by Reverend Henry William Prouse, the President of the Queensland Methodist Conference.[37][38][39][40] Construction commenced in May 1950, but there were delays in obtaining building materials until August 1951.[41][42] The new church was dedicated on Saturday 8 December 1951 by Reverend Tom Hardy Blackburn.[43][44] When the Methodist Church amalgamated into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, it became the Dalby Uniting Church.[40]

The Dalby War Memorial was unveiled by the Queensland Governor, Matthew Nathan, on 26 July 1922.[45]
