History
Opened on 14 September 1903, the fourth stage of the Nanango railway line took the line from Goomeri south to Wondai after passing through Manyung, Moondooner and Murgon.[4] Manyung railway station was originally called Yura.[5]
The locality takes its name from the Manyung railway station name, assigned on 20 August 1910 by the Queensland Railways Department. Manyung is thought to be a Waka language word (possibly Bujiebara dialect) munum meaning either death adder or scrub fruit.[2]
Manyung Provisional School opened on 28 October 1912. On 1 January 1916 it became Manyung State School. In 1921 it was relocated. It closed on 31 December 1963.[6]
In the 2016 census Manyung had a population of 63 people.[1]
