Marburg, a rural town, is within Ipswich, just off the Warrego Highway en route to Toowoomba. It was once covered by the Rosewood Scrub which was cleared and the area settled predominantly by German farmers in the 1870s.
Marburg, north of Frankfurt in Germany, is the burial place of the Prussian King Frederick the Great (1712-86), making it an attractive choice of name for the German settlers.
The Marburg area was intensively settled and in 1891, when a courthouse was opened, a census population of 200 was recorded.
