Murgon, Administrative center in South Burnett, Australia
Murgon sits within Queensland's South Burnett region, functioning as a central hub for agricultural activities including dairy farming, beef production, and peanut cultivation.
The Shire of Murgon operated as an independent local government area from 1914 until 2008, when it merged with neighboring councils to form South Burnett Regional Council.
The name Murgon originates from Aboriginal language, meaning 'place of red cedar', reflecting the deep connection between the land and its Indigenous inhabitants.
The town contains essential facilities such as the Murgon State School, established in 1908, along with healthcare services and retail establishments serving local residents.
Near Murgon lies a significant fossil site dating to the early Eocene epoch, containing vertebrate remains from approximately 55 million years ago.
