Jackson North is a rural locality in the Maranoa Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census Jackson North had a population of 61 people.[1]
History
The locality takes its name from the town of Jackson to the south, which was named after John Woodward Wyndham Jackson who was a pioneer settler in the district.[2]
Noonga Provisional School opened in 1916, as a half-time school in conjunction with Clarke's Creek Provisional School (meaning the two schools shared on teacher between them). The school closed in 1917, but reopened in 1918 as a half-time school in conjunction with Bogandilla Provisional School. In 1919 it was briefly a full-time school (not sharing its teacher) before reverting to a half-time school in conjunction with Noonga Creek Provisional School in August 1920. The school closed circa 1921. On 22 September 1947 a new Noonga State School opened. It closed at end of the school year in 1968.[3][4] Noonga State School was located on the Noonga pastoral station west of the Jackson Wandoan Road and immediately west of Noonga Creek (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[5][6]
