Dugandan is both a town and a locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia.[2][3] In the 2011 census, Dugandan had a population of 395 people.[1]
History
The name Dugandan is believed to be an Aboriginal word dugai/tugai meaning mountain spur place.[2][3] Originally the name was used for a large pastoral run established in 1884, covering a much larger area than the current locality from Boonah to Mount Joyce. As a result, the name Dugandan was used for the present day town of Boonah until the 1880s when it acquired its present name.[4]
The Dugandan Provisional School which opened in 1878 was located in (present day) Boonah. This school was renamed Boonah State School in 1895.[5] Dugandan State School opened in (present day) Dugandan on 13 January 1917. It closed in 1966.[5]
Dugandan Post Office opened on 11 September 1887 (a receiving office had been open from 1881) and closed in 1929.[6]
The Trinity Lutheran church opened on 23 April 1889.[7]
