History

Group at Crohamhurst State School

The name Crohamhurst comes from the name of the farm Crohamhurst established by Owen and Emilie/Amelia Jones who immigrated from Surrey, England. The Jones family named their farm after a property called Crohamhurst (also written Croham Hurst) owned by Lord Goschen in Surrey.[2]

The son of Owen and Emilie/Amelia Jones was Inigo Owen Jones, the long-range weather forecaster who established the now heritage-listed Crohamhurst Observatory on the farm. His theories about weather cycles related to sunspot activity.[2][7]

In 1893, Inigo Jones recorded 907 mm (35.7 in) of rain in one day at Crohamhurst during the passage of a cyclone, which is the record highest 24-hour rainfall in Australia.[3] He had just resigned as an employee of the Queensland Meteorological Service Inigo Owen Jones at that time. The 20-year-old Jones, later became a controversial climate forecaster, believing that weather patterns were influenced related to sunspot activityand electromagnetic effects of far away planets.[2][7][8]

Crohamhurst State School opened on 21 July 1913. It closed on 14 October 1960.[9][10] It was located on Crohamhurst Road (26°48′37″S 152°52′18″E / 26.8104°S 152.8717°E / -26.8104; 152.8717 (Crohamhurst State School (former))) on land donated by Owen Jones (father of Inigo Owen Jones) which is now within the Crohamhurst State Forest, land donated by Inigo Owen Jones.[11][12][13] It closed on 14 October 1960.[9][10] The location of the school is marked with a sign by the road.[14]

Inigo Jones inherited the property from his parents, and in 1950 he gave the farm to the Queensland Government provided he and his wife could continue to live there until their deaths. The observatory part of the land is now heritage-listed and the rest of the land (including the school which closed about 1960) is now the Crohamhurst State Forest.[2][7]
