HistoryPeachester was named when the town was surveyed in 1888 and it is thought that the name refers to peach trees which were growing at the river crossing. A public hall was built at the town in 1889, and was home to the Peachester school when it started in 1892.[4][5]Early industries included dairying, timber felling for Grigor's sawmill and a case factory for fruit growers in the 1920s and post World War Two years.[6] Peachester Post Office opened by 1918 (a receiving office had been open from 1895) and closed in 1974.[7] St Andrew's Anglican church was dedicated on 1 January 1908 by Venerable H. F. Le Fanu, Archdeacon of Toowoomba. It closed circa 1962.[8] Between the 1930s and 1950s, Peachester was known as the home of Inigo Jones, the long range weather forecaster.[6] At the 2006 census, Peachester had a population of 452.[9] Heritage listingsPeachester has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
