Marcus Hill

History

Marcus Hill Post Office opened on 7 May 1883 and closed in 1978. Marcus Hill Rural School opened on 1 June 1870 and became the Marcus Hill State School (No. 1370) on 1 January 1874. The original school closed on 31 January 1878, after the state government purchased a site for a permanent school. It was replaced by the new Queenscliff Road State School (No. 2029) on 1 February 1878, which was renamed Marcus Hill in 1905. Marcus Hill Primary School was closed at the end of 1993 and the buildings were removed.
