History

The name Langshaw is assumed to have taken its name from a site of mills, particularly Campbells Mills, flanked by seven workhouses. The mills were erected along the banks of Eel Creek by Meyers Brothers and James Campbell & Sons in 1918.

Eel Creek Provisional School opened on 1876. It closed in 1896. It reopened in January 1914. On 1 April 1926, it became Eel Creek State School. In 1936, tenders were called to erect a new school building.[3] In 1948, it was renamed Landshaw State School. It closed on 25 August 1962.[4] It was at approx 1576 Eel Creek Road (26.3032°S 152.5727°E / -26.3032; 152.5727 (Langshaw State School (former))).[5]

In the 2016 census, Langshaw had a population of 169 people.[1]
