Montrose is a rural locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Montrose had a population of 65 people.[1]
History[]
The locality takes its name from the parish and the pastoral run name, which pastoralist St George Richard Gore named on 5 May 1866 after the town of Montrose in Forfarshire, Scotland.[2]
Malara Provisional School and Montrose Provision School both opened circa 1911 as half-time provisional schools (meaning they shared a single teacher between them). In 1919 both schools closed due to low student numbers.[3]
