History
The locality takes its name from the railway station, which was the terminus of the branch line from Goondoon. The name was assigned by the Queensland Railways Department on 14 March 1929 (although the line didn't open until 5 October 1931). It was named after politician Godfrey Morgan who was Secretary for Railways from 1929 to 1932.[1]
