==History==
The origin of the name ''Nobby'' is unknown. When the Western railway line from Toowoomba to Warwick was being constructed, a worker's camp known as McDonald's Camp was established in the area in 1868 and this gave its name to the general area. However, the railway siding created was known as ''Nobby's Siding'' and the area become known as ''Nobby''. However, the township that was surveyed alongside the railway in 1891 was named ''Davenport'' after George Davenport, a former local Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Drayton and Toowoomba whose pastoral run was at nearby Headington Hill. However, the Railway Department refused to rename the railway station, which created confusion having the railway station and the town with different names, leading to many people continuing to refer to the town as ''Nobby''. Eventually the town's name was official changed back to ''Nobby'' in 1931.〔
Nobby's Siding Post Office opened by March 1894 (a receiving office had been open from 1885), was renamed Nobby's by 1902 and Nobby by 1908.
At the 2006 census, Nobby had a population of 391.
