History
Pampas is named because of the extensive coverage of kangaroo grass. The Dry Paddock Provisional School opened on 9 August 1897. In 1909 it became Pampas State School. It closed on 27 December 1957. It was at 22 Fysh Road (). Pampas Memorial Hall was erected in late 1954.
Geography
The locality is positioned between the main channel and north branch of the Condamine River both of which mark boundaries. The Millmerran railway line and Gore Highway pass through Pampas. The Pampas–Horrane Road (State Route 82) runs north-west to Cecil Plains. The land use is predominantly horticulture and cropping.
