History
Botanist Allan Cunningham explored this area in 1829. From a knoll, he saw extensive plains which he named Laidley Plain after colonial administrator James Laidley who was the Deputy Commissary General in Sydney at that time.

The town was called Normanby from about 1859 to 1931. However, that caused confusion with another town called Normanby on the road from Ipswich to Harrisville, resulting in this town being renamed Warrill View, a name that was already in use for the school and post office. The name Warrill comes from the name of the local creek, whose name is allegedly an Aboriginal word meaning water or stream.

Warrill View State School opened on 15 September 1910.
