History

Methodist (now Uniting) Church, Barney View, 2006
Methodist (now Uniting) Church, Barney View, 2006

A Methodist church was opened in 1908.

Barney View was originally known as Thulimbah, which was frequently confused with another Queensland district of the same name, Thulimbah near Stanthorpe. The problem was resolved in 1916 by changing the name to Barney View (due to its location beside Mount Barney).

Barney View State School closed in 1961.
