Kingaham is a rural locality in the Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Kingaham had a population of 21 people.[1]
Over half of the land in Kingaham is state forest, including Yabba State Forest in the north, Jimna State Forest in the south, and Diaper State Forest in the south-west. Wrattens National Park is in the south of the locality.[3]
The remaining land is freehold, predominantly used for grazing on native vegetation.[4]
History
In 1887, 42,880 acres (17,350 ha) of land were resumed from the Yabba pastoral run for the establishment of small farms. The land was offered for selection on 17 April 1887.[5]
