Millwood is a rural locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Millwood had a population of 22 people.[1]
The Millmerran–Inglewood Road (State Route 82) enters the locality from the north-east (Clontarf) and exits to the south (Bringalily).[3][4]
History
The name Millwood was coined by local farmer, Tom Twidale, by combining Mill from Millmerran and wood from Inglewood as the locality lay between those two towns.[2]
Millwood Provisional School opened on 23 October 1944 under head teacher Murray Phillip Honor. In January 1960, it became Millwood State School. It closed on 25 June 1965 with the remaining students being transported each day to Millmerran State School. In 1966, the school building was relocated by the Millmerran Boy Scouts.[5][6]
