History

The locality presumably takes its name from its railway station,[2] which in turn was named by the Queensland Railways Department after the town in Scotland, thought to have some connection to a settler.[3]

Deborah Provisional School opened on 28 April 1885. On 1 January 1909, it became Deborah State School, but then closed on 31 December 1910. It reopened on 1 March 1921 as a half-time school in conjunction with Mount Urah Provisional School (meaning the two schools shared a single teacher). On 4 April 1927, the closure of Mount Urah School enabled Deborah State School to becomea full-time school once again. It closed on 5 June 1939.[4] The school was on the southern side of Deborah Road (25.7830°S 152.4940°E / -25.7830; 152.4940 (Deborah State School (former))).[5][6]
