History

Prior to European settlement, the Trebonne area was inhabited by the Warakamai People.

The town derives its name from Trebonne Creek, which was allegedly named by Leon Burguez, sugar planter who lived at Gairloch, probably in the 1870s.

Upper Trebonne Provisional School opened on 7 November 1906. On 1 January 1909, it became Upper Trebonne State School. It was renamed Trebonne State School circa 1932.

In 1951, Canossa Catholic Primary School was established by Canossia Daughters of Charity. It closed on 6 December 2013. It was at 11 Stone River Road (18°37′38″S 146°04′40″E / 18.6273°S 146.0779°E / -18.6273; 146.0779 (primary school)).
