The first European settlers arrived in the area in the 1860s and the first documented European birth was Henry Bateman in 1866.[10] Bateman descendants still live in the town today.[citation needed] The town was at first called Jindowie, from the local Aboriginal word for a waterhole.[2] Later, a man called John or Jack Dowiae established a camp and rest area for travellers called the John Dowiae camp. This led to some early settlers using the name Jondowiae. With the coming of the railway in 1914, the name was changed again to Jandowae, to avoid confusion with nearby Jondaryan.[11]
The fertile soil allowed the development of agriculture and combined with a flourishing timber industry saw the expansion of industry and commerce and the establishment of churches, halls and banks.[12]

In 1923, Wilga Downs Provisional School was renamed Jandowae East Provisional School continuing to share a teacher with Carlyle until Carlyle closed in 1929. Jandowae East then became a full time provisional school and became Jandowae East State School in 1955. It closed in 1964.[15] It was on the western corner of Jandowae East Road and Skinners Road (26°46′42″S151°12′28″E / 26.77836°S 151.20779°E / -26.77836; 151.20779 (Jandowae East State School (former))).[24][4]

The wooden church was 41 by 22 feet (12.5 by 6.7 m). It held 150 people at the opening with others standing outside.[29][30][31]

In 1964 a Lutheran church was opened at 43 Sydney Street, the church building having been relocated from Meringandan where it had been the Methodist Church since it was built in about 1908. It was deconsecrated in 1999 and is now in private ownership.[35]
The current Jandowae Public Library opened in 2000 and had a minor refurbishment in 2014.[37]
In 2001, in order to stem a decline in population and economic activity and encourage new residents and industry to Jandowae, Wambo Shire Council ran a "dollar block" promotion. The promotion involved the sale of 38 parcels of land, both residential and industrial, for one dollar each. The promotion made news throughout Australia and overseas including New Zealand, Hong Kong, England and the United States. The promotion proved popular with over 1,000 applications received. To maintain fairness, a ballot system was implemented along with a condition requiring the establishment of a house on the block within 12 months or the land would return to the ballot. As a result of the promotion, the decline in population was halted and new industry was attracted to town including a manufacturer of RFID cattle ear tag readers.[38]
