History

The locality presumably takes its name from its parish, which in turn was named after the Tarampa pastoral run named in 1847 by pastoralist Charles Cameron. The name is from the Yuggera language, meaning wild lime tree.[3]

Tarampa Provisional School opened on 1 April 1880. On 1 July 1886 it became Tarampa State School.[5]

During World War II, a military airfield was located at nearby Mount Tarampa called Lowood. The United States Army Air Forces based its 80th Fighter Squadron (8th Fighter Group) between 28 March and 10 May 1942, flying P-39 Airacobras. The airfield no longer exists but a small memorial marks its previous location.[6][7]

The Lowood circuit built at the former airfield site was the venue for the 1960 Australian Grand Prix.[8] The facility has since been closed and the land redeveloped. The end of the 35 runway and taxiway can still be seen in aerial imagery (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".).
