The Mandandanji language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Maranoa Regional Council, particularly Roma, Yuleba and Surat, then east towards Chinchilla and south-west towards Mitchell and St George.[5]

The town is said to be named after an Aboriginal word meaning "the place of water lilies".[6]

History

[edit]

When it was named in 1865, it was a settlement on Yuleba Creek. However, in October 1879 the town moved to the railway crossing on Yuleba Creek and was officially called Baltinglass. However, this was changed to Yuleba in 1901. However, due to an error in assembling a sign for the railway station, the station and the town were known as the misspelt Yeulba. In 1938, the name was changed to the original intended name of Yuleba.[2][7][8]

Baltinglass Provisional School opened on 10 November 1880. On 1 April 1884, it was renamed Yeulba State School. In 1939, the spelling of the name was changed to Yuleba State School.[9][10]

The last Cobb and Co stagecoach between Yuleba and Surat ran on 16 August 1924.[11]

In 1954 the former Bendemere Shire Council (now a constituent part of the Maranoa Region) erected a memorial hall in Yuleba with an honor board commemorating those from the shire who had served in World War II. It was officially opened on 15 May 1954 by Alfred Dohring, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Roma.[12]

On 9 October 1964 Queensland Premier Frank Nicklin unveiled a large mural at the Yuleba Memorial Hall. The mural depicts many scenes of war and was painted by local artist and jackaroo Robert (Fred) Doyle.[13]
