At the 2016 Australian Census the suburb recorded a population of 2,871.[1] HistoryThe name Munruben comes from a property called Mun Rubens owned by grazier William Norris and is believed to be derived from the Bundjalung language for a local lagoon. The locality was officially named in 1991 (when it was in the Shire of Beaudesert).[2][3] Formerly in the Shire of Beaudesert, Munruben became part of Logan City following the local government amalgamations in March 2008. GeographyThe Mount Lindesay Highway (formerly the New England Highway) passes through the suburb. The area known as Jerry's Downfall is notorious for bogging and flooding.[4][5][6] AmenitiesJerry's Downfall Reserve is located in the north-east of Munruben ({{coord|-27.7383|153.0485|type:landmark_region:AU-QLD|name=Jerry's Downfall Reserve}}). The name commemorates an early teamster who had an accident there.[7] The name Jerry's Downfall has been in use since at least 1866.[8] It has been suggested that he was a Kanaka from Robert Towns' cotton plantation at Townvale, who capsized a bullock dray of cotton while crossing Chambers Creek.[3][9] It has also been suggested that the incident is connected to the Keaveny family. The Beaudesert Historical Society have erected a plaque at the reserve.[10] DemographicsIn the {{CensusAU|2011}}, Munruben recorded a population of 2,809 people, 48% female and 52% male.[11] The median age of the Munruben population was 38 years, 1 year above the national median of 37.[11] 77.6% of people living in Munruben were born in Australia. The other top responses for country of birth were England 5.8%, New Zealand 5%, Germany 1%, Scotland 0.7%, South Africa 0.7%.[11] 91.1% of people spoke only English at home; the next most common languages were 0.8% German, 0.7% Hmong, 0.5% Hindi, 0.5% Serbian, 0.4% Vietnamese.[11] References1. ^1 {{Census 2016 AUS|id=SSC32098 |name=Munruben (State Suburb) |accessdate=25 March 2016 |quick=on}} 2. ^1 {{cite QPN|45281|Munruben|accessdate=7 May 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Munruben|url=http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/about-logan/suburbs/munruben|work=Suburbs|publisher=Logan City Council|accessdate=8 May 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article21301900 |title=BEAUDESERT ROAD. |newspaper=The Brisbane Courier |date=29 June 1928 |accessdate=8 May 2014 |page=25 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article98378898 |title=HUNDREDS FORCED TO LEAVE HOMES SURROUNDED BY SWIRLING FLOODS. |newspaper=Sunday Mail |location=Brisbane |date=26 January 1947 |accessdate=8 May 2014 |page=1 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article50090935 |title=FLOOD TRANSPORT BY AIR, LAND, SEA. |newspaper=The Courier-Mail |location=Brisbane |date=1 February 1951 |accessdate=8 May 2014 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article20894370 |title=JERRYS DOWNFALL—AND OTHERS. |newspaper=The Brisbane Courier |date=6 January 1925 |accessdate=8 May 2014 |page=6 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article75515396 |title=No title. |newspaper=The Darling Downs Gazette and General Advertiser |location=Toowoomba, Qld. |date=13 December 1866 |accessdate=8 May 2014 |page=3 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article97908947 |title=When Cotton Was Grown by Darkies. |newspaper=Sunday Mail |location=Brisbane |date=18 July 1937 |accessdate=8 May 2014 |page=34 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Veresdale|url=http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/about-logan/suburbs/veresdale|work=Suburbs|publisher=Logan City Council|accessdate=8 May 2014}} 11. ^1 2 3 {{Census 2011 AUS|id=SSC31189 |name=Munruben (State Suburb) |accessdate=10 January 2014 |quick=on}} External links{{Commons category|Munruben, Queensland}}
