History

The name is believed to be derived from a Barababaraba word meaning "sand hill". Multiple schools were opened in the locality between 1876 and 1880 after farming began in the area. Mologa Railway Station opened in 1884 and closed in 1972. Following World War I, residents of Mologa organised public meetings in 1919 to establish a local war memorial, deciding to erect a stone column honouring all who served and commemorating those from the district who were killed. The memorial was completed and unveiled on 24 March 1920 by C. Marlow, whose five sons enlisted in the war, three of whom died.
