History
The name Camboon is believed to be derived from the Aboriginal word caamboon meaning the bullrushes growing at the edge of waterholes.[2]
A post office opened on 1 June 1874 but closed on 16 October 1965.[3]
Camboon Provisional School opened about 1899 but closed in 1908 due to low enrolments. In 1910, the school was reopened but only operated half-time in conjunction with the newly opened Camboon Woolshed Provisional School. Both schools were closed in 1915.[4]
In the 2016 census Camboon had a population of 93 people.[1]
Events
Camboon hosts an annual campdraft every May.[5]
