In 1854, the first Presbyterian services were held in Allora.[7]
The town was surveyed in 1859. Its name is believed to derive from an Aboriginal word "gnarrallah", meaning waterhole or swampy place.[2]
Following European settlement, the history of the area is entwined with two famous pastoral homesteads in the vicinity of Allora: Glengallan and Talgai . Both properties raised sheep.[citation needed]
The original "Talgai" run was taken up by E. E. Dalrymple in 1840. The creek that runs through Allora is named in his honour. Built in 1868 for the Clark family, Talgai Homestead stood on 300,000 acres (120,000 ha). The homestead is built of sandstone and covers sixty squares. It is now a bed and breakfast.[citation needed]
In 1866, a Wesleyan Methodist church was established in Allora.[9][10] Improvements were made in 1875.[9] A new church was built in 1896.[9]
The Allora State School opened on 1 May 1867.[11][12] On 31 December 2008, it was renamed Allora P-10 State School.[11]
From 1869, Allora had its own local government (initially Borough of Allora, from 1903 Town of Allora) then was combined with the Clifton Shire. In 1914 it separated from the Clifton Shire to become a shire in its own right as the Shire of Allora, which was administered from the Shire's offices initially on the corner of Warwick and Forde Streets in Allora, and then at 78 Herbert Street in Allora. In 1994, the Shire of Allora was amalgamated into the Shire of Warwick.[citation needed]
In 1873 a permanent Presbyterian congregation was established with the arrival of Reverend Thomas Kingsford as a permanent minister.[13] In November 1874, the congregation commenced fundraising to build a church.[14] In September 1876, they were seeking to buy an acre of land for the church.[15] In February 1879, they called for tenders to build the church.[16] On Sunday 28 September 1879, the church was opened by Reverend W. Budge. It faced Forde Street opposite the town hall.[17] In 1906, it was decided to build a new Presbyterian church facing Warwick Street opposite the Allora railway station.[18][19] The foundation blocks were laid on Wednesday 25 July 1906 under the supervision of Reverend D. McLellan with over 300 people in attendance.[20][21] The new church was officially opened on Wednesday 21 November 1906 by Dr Coulston, Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Australia. The architect was Alexander Brown Wilson of Brisbane and the contractor was Henry William Stay of Allora.[22] In October 1912, the 1879 church building was relocated to become the Presbyterian church in Goomburra, which is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of Allora. The relocation of the church required two traction engines and took ten days to negotiate difficult terrain and other problems.[23]
In 1886, the first fossil evidence of early human occupation in the area, the Talgai Skull, was found on Talgai Homestead, embedded in the wall of Dalrymple Creek. Radiocarbon dating suggests the Talgai skull is between 9,000 and 11,000 years old.[24] It is believed to be the skull of a boy of approximately 15 years of age who had been killed by a massive blow to the side of the head.[25]
St Patrick's Catholic Church was opened on Whit-Sunday in June 1871.[26]
By 1894 a Presbyterian church had opened in Allora.[30]
The Allora Boer War Memorial was unveiled on 19 October 1904 by Colonel Henry Chauvel.[31]
Wilsonville Provisional School opened in 1906. On 1 January 1909 it became Wilsonville State School. It was amalgamated with Glengallan State School in late 1922 or early 1923 to create Mount Marshall State School.[32]
The Allora Shire Soldiers Memorial was unveiled on 11 November 1921 by General J.C. Robertson and the mothers of those who died.[36]
St Paul's Church of England in Back Plains was dedicated on 12 February 1892 by Archbishop of BrisbaneWilliam Webber. The last service was conducted in Back Plains on 8 August 1943. In 1953 the church building was relocated to Nobby where it was re-established as St Paul's Church of England.[37] The last service at Nobby was conducted circa 11 May 1975. In 1979 the building was relocated to 12 Jubb Street, Allora (28°01′51″S151°58′54″E / 28.0309°S 151.9818°E / -28.0309; 151.9818 (Scots Presbyterian Church, Allora)) to become the Scots Presbyterian Church for those Presbyterians in the district who did not wish to become part of the Uniting Church of Australia. The church in Allora was dedicated on 26 July 1980 by Presbyterian Moderator Rt Rev F. White.[38][39]
The current Allora Public Library opened in 1966 and had a minor refurbishment in 2010.[40]
