It became Yarwun State School on 1 January 1909.[4][5][6] The Yarwun-Targinnie Co-operative Association was established in 1924 to market locally-grown fruit. The district was well known for its pawpaws. In 1963 the Co-op established a store at 60 Butler Street to provide goods needed for fruit production, such as timber cases. Later the store expanded to general goods for the community and postal services.[7] In June 2003, the Yarwun railway station was relocated to the Calliope River Historical Village as its ticket office and kiosk.[8][9] In March 2005, Rio Tinto Alcan opened an alumina refinery in Yarwun. Bauxite from Weipa is processed by the Bayer process into alumina.
