Millmerran is a town in the Darling Downs on the Gore Highway, 208 kilometres (129 mi) west of Brisbane. It is near a lookout commonly used by the local Aboriginal population prior to European settlement and the town's name is believed to be derived from two words - "meel" meaning "eye" and "merran" meaning "to look out". European settlement in began in 1841 when the Gore brothers established Yandilla station which covered an estimated 1,780 square kilometres (690 sq miles) and had its own school with 20 to 30 students, telegraph station and store. In 1881, Edward Walpole established a general store on the site of what was then known as Back Creek, and a receiving office was opened with that name on 8 July 1883. It was elevated to the status of a post office, and the name changed to Domville, on 1 June 1889. The name was again changed to Millmerran on 16 November 1894.
