==History==
The Thangool area was originally home to the Gangulu Aboriginal people. European settlement in Australia in the area began with the Archer brothers who, on advice from the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt, set out from Eidsvold on the Burnett River to explore the area to the north in 1853, eventually reaching the Fitzroy River. Speculative ventures followed in the 1850s and 1860s, originally tentative attempts at sheep raising, but soon turning to cattle. The town was surveyed in 1925 and primitive shops constructed from corrugated iron and logs were established soon after. The Callide Valley railway line was extended to Thangool in 1925, before its final extension to Lawgi in 1931.〔(QR Corporate - Rail as foremost mode of travel - Competition to rail as foremost mode of travel )〕 A primary school was opened in 1927. By the 1930s, a cotton boom had allowed the town to support two hotels, two butchers, two bakers, a picture theatre, a cordial factory, a blacksmith and a bank.
