==History==
The town was named after the niece of Donald McIntyre, the first white settler in the area.〔(Towns - Julia Creek ), James Cook University, retrieved 9 March 2007〕 McIntyre took up a property called Dalgonally about north of the present site of the town in 1864, only a few years after the ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition passed through the area. The township began life as a temporary terminus in 1907 when the railway was extended from Richmond to service the copper mines at Cloncurry.
Julia Creek Post Office opened by September 1910 (a receiving office had been open from 1907).
A one-room school was established in 1911 with nine students, and was expanded in 1932 and again in 1934. A separate high school was constructed in 1963.〔 A sixteen-bed hospital was established in 1972.〔(Queensland Health Facility Profile - Julia Creek Hospital ), retrieved 9 March 2007.〕 The town did not receive electricity until 1952.
