The locality name is presumably derived from the Fairyland pastoral run, which in 1863 had an estimated carrying capacity of 4,000 sheep.[6]

Nudley State School opened on 24 November 1913 and closed in 1956.[7][8] It was on Nudley School Road (26.5351°S 150.8525°E / -26.5351; 150.8525 (Nudley State School (former))).[9][3]

Fairyland West Provisional School opened on 1 May 1941, becoming Fairyland West State School on 26 April 1957. It closed in 1980.[7] It was located on Fairyland School Road, just east of Charleys Creek (approx 26.4525°S 150.8886°E / -26.4525; 150.8886 (Fairyland West State School (former))), now within the neighbouring locality of Durah.[10][3]
