History[edit]

Barmoya Settlement State School opened on 31 August 1911. In 1935, it was renamed Barmoya East State School. It closed on 4 July 1969.[3] It was at 9 C H Barretts Road (corner of East Barmoya Road, 23°08′41″S 150°32′38″E / 23.14461°S 150.54377°E / -23.14461; 150.54377 (Barmoya East State School (former))).[4][5]

Barmoya Central State School opened on 28 August 1918.[6] In February 1930, the school was closed because it had only seven students; it was suggested that the school should be moved to a more central location.[7] In October 1931, it was proposed to relocate the school building to Rossmoya Road where 16 students could attend the school,[8][9] but some parents thought it was too distant for their children to travel to and from the school each day.[10][11] In June 1932, it was decided to move the school to Rossmoya Road,[12] but, in March 1933, the government said there were insufficient funds available to move the school at that time.[13] In September 1933, tenders were called to relocate the school.[14] The school was relocated in January 1934.[15] In 1936, it was renamed Wattlebank State School.[16] It closed in December 1959.[17] It was on the western side of Rossmoya Road (approx 23°07′49″S 150°27′34″E / 23.13030°S 150.45931°E / -23.13030; 150.45931 (Wattlebank State School (former))) in Wattlebank.[18][19]

The locality was officially named and bounded on 18 February 2000.[2]

In the 2016 census Barmoya had a population of 80 people.[1]
