History

The town takes its name from a village in Ireland.[2][4]

Pine Creek Provisional School opened on 4 September 1888. On 27 July 1904 it was renamed Turallin Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Turallin State School. It closed in 1960.[5] It was at (present day) 606 Turallin Road (27.8290°S 151.2057°E / -27.8290; 151.2057 (Turallin State School)).[6]

In June 1911 tenders were called to erect an Anglican Church in Turallin.[7] St Luke's Anglican church was dedicated on 20 October 1913 by the Archdeacon of Toowoomba, Arthur Rivers. Its last service was held on 26 July 1953.[8]
