History

The name Glengallan derives from the name of the pastoral run, taken up by Colin and John Campbell in 1841.[2]

Glengallan Station School opened circa 1886 for the education for the children of the staff of Glengallan Station. In 1891 it became Glengallan Provisional School. On 1 January 1909, it became Glengallon State School. It closed in 1921. In late 1922 or early 1923, it was amalgamated with Wilsonville State School to become Mount Marshall State School..[4]

St Andrew's Anglican Church was dedicated on 23 November 1908 by Archbishop St Clair Donaldson. It closed in 1962.[5]
