Teviotville, Scenic Rim, Queensland, Australia



 


Notes:
Teviotville was a stop along the closed Dugandan railway line. The name is derived from the name given to a railway stop by the Queensland Railway Department in 1887.[3] That was based on the name of the major watercourse in the area, Teviot Brook.[3] The brook in turn was named on 6 August 1828 by explorer Allan Cunningham after the River Teviot in Roxburghshire, Scotland.[2]



Teviotville Railway Station Provisional School opened on 1 August 1899 with 25 students under teacher Miss M.J.A. Alcorn.[4] In 1903 it was renamed Teviotville Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Teviotville State School. A new school building was opened on 13 March 1914 by Ernest Thomas Bell, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Fassifern.[5][6][7] It closed on 11 December 1981 due to low student numbers.[8][9]
