==Etymology==
Gympie's name derives from the Kabi (the language of a tribe of Indigenous Australians that historically lived in the region) word ''gimpi-gimpi'' (which means "stinging tree"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History )〕 which referred to ''Dendrocnide moroides''. The tree has large, round leaves that have similar properties to stinging nettles. The town was previously named Nashville, after James Nash, who discovered gold in the area in 1867.〔Hon. C. Wallace, (Gympie residents have chance to make their mark on the map ), 14 January 2008. Accessed 18 April 2009.〕 The name was later changed to Gympie in 1868.〔(Gympie Fire Station in 1955 )〕
