History

The locality was originally called Rosalie (possibly after the parish name) but was renamed Byrmaroo on 1 July 1905 to avoid confusion with other places called Rosalie.[1]

St Lambert's Anglican Church was dedicated on 17 November 1911. Its closure on 25 June 1995 was approved by Assistant Bishop Wood.[2]

During World War II, the Royal Australian Air Force established the Brymaroo Aerodrome via compulsory acquisition.[3]
