About Dayboro Cottage Local History Museum
Welcome to the Dayboro Cottage Local History Museum, located at 27 Williams Street in the charming town of Dayboro, Australia. Established in 2004 by the Dayboro District Historical Society Inc., our museum is dedicated to collecting, collating, and preserving articles, photographs, and information that reflect the rich history of the Dayboro district.
Steeped in fascinating stories, our town has gone through several name changes throughout the years. Originally known as Upper North Pine, it later became North Pine and eventually Petrie. In 1875, the first mail service arrived in the district, and Mr. Hugh Hamilton, a local farmer, became the receiving officer. Three years later, Hamilton's mail service was elevated to Unofficial Post Office status, and Mrs. Catherine Hamilton, widow of Hugh Hamilton, became the first Post Mistress. After marrying the local schoolteacher, William Brundrit, in 1879, the Post Office became known as Hamilton. However, in 1892, the name was changed to Terrors Creek, named after the creek that bordered the town. This name was short-lived, as in 1917, it was changed to Dayboro to avoid confusion with Torrens Creek, as per the Postmaster-General's recommendation. The name Dayboro was chosen to honor William Henry Day, a prominent figure in Brisbane who leased the land on which the majority of the town now stands and established a sugar plantation and mill.
Today, Dayboro is surrounded by beautiful localities such as Mt. Pleasant, Laceys Creek, King Scrub, Ocean View, Rush Creek, Armstrong Creek, Kobble Creek, and Samsonvale. If you have any connections to Dayboro or its history, we would be delighted to hear from you.
