In the far south west of the suburb is the single runway Hervey Bay Airport.

History

The name Urangan is derived from Kabi language, either from the word yuangan meaning dugong, or yerengen meaning small shell fish.[8]

The local landmarks of Dayman Spit and Dayman Point were named after Lieutenant Joseph Dayman of the Royal Navy.[9] Dayman was the first European to navigate through the Great Sandy Strait on 10 November 1846 in a small decked boat called the Asp. It had been intended that Dayman rendezvous with HMS Rattlesnake but that ship had already departed. Dayman decided it was safer to take the Asp through the Great Sandy Strait instead rather than risk taking the route by the ocean side of Fraser Island as he wanted to avoid rounding the Breaksea Spit.[10]

Urangan State School opened circa 1890 and closed in 1915.[11]

The Hervey Bay railway line from Maryborough passed through the suburb, terminating at the Urangan Pier. The line reached Pialba on 18 December 1896. However, construction of the extension to Urangan did not commence immediately as the original plan had been for the Vernon Coal and Railway Company to construct that section of the line to transport Burrum coal to the pier. However, the company did not build the line. On 20 December 1911, the Queensland Government decided to build the extension to Urangan, which was officially opened on 19 December 1913 by the Minister for Railways Walter Paget.[12]

Urangan Road State School opened on 22 February 1915. In 1956 it was renamed Bingham Road State School. It closed on 1960.[11] Despite the name, the school was 847 Booral Road (formerly Nikenbah Bingham Road), Bunya Creek.[13][14][15][4]

Urangan Point State School opened on 9 October 1916.[11]

All Saints' Anglican Church was dedicated in 1918. It was dedicated again on 6 June 1965 by Archbishop Philip Strong. It closed during 1990.[16]

On Saturday 1 November 1919 a Methodist church was opened at 22 Kent Street (25°17′13″S 152°54′05″E / 25.2870°S 152.9013°E / -25.2870; 152.9013 (Urangan Methodist Church (former))). The church building had originally been a church hall in Maryborough but was then relocated Torquay by Fenwick White where it was used by the Methodist congregation and a number of denominations for services. Although it was believed White had intended for the Methodist congregation to inherit the church upon his death, this did not occur and the church was offered for sale after White's death in 1917. The Methodist congregation decided to buy the church building and relocate it to the Kent Street site which they purchased. On Saturday 8 September 1951 a stump capping ceremony was held at the commencement of the enlargement of the church building.[17] The enlarged church was officially re-opened on Saturday 10 November 1951.[18]

On 23 December 1945 the Beulah Mission Church (part of the Assemblies of God) opened at 14 King Street (corner of Beulah Street, 25°16′58″S 152°53′58″E / 25.2828°S 152.8995°E / -25.2828; 152.8995 (Beulah Mission Church (former))).[19]

The last ship docked at the Urangan pier in January 1985.
