The area was home to the Yalebone Provisional School from 1911 to about 1925.[6]

The Trenhed branch of the Western Division of the Queensland Country Women's Association operated in the area between at least 1938 and 1951.[7][8]

There are many state forests in the area including Trinidad, Brucedale, Tinowon, and Yalebone.
