History

The name Tannymorel comes from a village in Ireland and means a bend in the creek. It was named by Patrick Leslie and Ernest Dalrymple, both of whom were from Scotland.

Farm Creek Provisional School opened in May 1877 with teacher Mrs Fanny Spencely. On 18 January 1892, it became Farm Creek State School. In 1910, it was renamed Tannymorel State School. In 1914-1915, a new school building was erected with the old building being relocated to Mount Colliery to establish Mount Colliery State School. Tannymorel State School closed on 20 July 2017. The school was at 2 Oak Street (28°17′42″S 152°14′56″E / 28.2950°S 152.2488°E / -28.2950; 152.2488 (Tannymorel State School (former))). The school's website was archived.

The Killarney railway line from Warwick to Killarney reached Tannymorel on 24 August 1885 with town being served by the Tannymorel railway station (28°17′27″S 152°14′51″E / 28.2907°S 152.2474°E / -28.2907; 152.2474 (Tannymorel railway station (former))).

The Mount Colliery Tramway, a private 5 kilometres (3.1 mi)-long horse tramway, opened in 1908. The tramway joined the line at Tannymorel to transport coal from a nearby mine to the railway. The Killarney line, together with the colliery tramway, closed on 1 May 1964.

A Presbyterian church was officially opened on Wednesday 22 June 1904 by the Reverend R.J. Sinclair.

On Sunday 25 April 1915, Archbishop James Duhig laid the foundation stone for a Catholic church in Tannymorel with over 2,000 people attending. On Sunday 10 October 1915 Duhig blessed and dedicated St Michael's Catholic Church. The architects were Dornbusch & Connolly of Warwick and the contractor was Ludwig August Tessman also of Warwick.
