History
The locality was originally called Rosalie (possibly after the parish name) but was renamed Byrmaroo on 1 July 1905 to avoid confusion with other places called Rosalie.[2]
Rosalie Plains Provisional School opened in 1881 as a half-time school with Irvingdale Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher) but closed on 6 May 1881. On 1 May 1882 it re-opened as a full-time provisional school but closed on 2 May 1883. It opened again in April 1889 in a new building, but then closed in April 1906. It re-opened on 29 August 1913 and on 14 July 1914 it was renamed Brymaroo State School. It closed in 1927, but on 11 Jun 1928 it reopened as a half-time school in conjunction with Viewfield State School. On 1 April 1930 Brymaroo State School returned to being a full-time school. It closed permanently on 16 Apr 1944.[3]
St Lambert's Anglican Church was dedicated on 17 November 1911. Its closure on 25 June 1995 was approved by Assistant Bishop Wood.[4]
During World War II, the Royal Australian Air Force established the Brymaroo Aerodrome via compulsory acquisition.[5]
In the 2016 census Brymaroo had a population of 140 people.[1]
