History

The locality's name is taken from the railway station name, which is an Aboriginal word meaning bend in a river, assigned by the Queensland Railways Department on 30 August 1923.[2]

Barlil was on the Murgon-to-Proston railway line. At Barlil, the Windera railway line branched off towards Windera. Both lines are now closed.

Barlil State School opened on 15 September 1925. It closed on 1963.[3]

In the 2016 census, Barlil had a population of 37 people.[1]
