History

"First known as the Moorabool Hotel, the now Linville Hotel was originally located between Toogoolawah and Harlin and was the first hotel in the Toogoolawah district.

The township of Moorabool was obliged to change its name to Kannangur and finally Yimbun because of confusion with postal addresses. So the hotel was renamed the Kannangur Hotel.

Then it was moved to its present location in 1911 by bullocks when the railhead was extended. Local history has it that the intention was to take this hotel over the Blackbutt Range to Benarkin to join the new railway terminus that opened there on 8 May, 1911, but the Range defeated the bullock teams and it was relocated to Linville instead."
