There are a number of neighbourhoods within the locality:
Gordon Vale
Kenbula , located around the former Kenbula railway station
Talban , located around the former Talban railway station
The names Kenbula and Talban were both assigned by the Queensland Railway Department on 18 November 1911. Both are Aboriginal names, Kenbula meaning ironbark tree and Talban meaning stone curlew. The town takes its name from the family who took out the original gold mining leases in the area: Frederick Augustus Morgan and his brothers Thomas Squire Morgan and Edwin Francis Morgan. Over the years, the Mount Morgan Mine has produced gold, silver and copper. Among those making a fortune from this mine was William Knox D'Arcy. D'Arcy used his fortune to finance oil exploration in Iran, which led to the formation of the Anglo Persian Oil Company (now BP). Mining of clay in a nearby hill for the production of furnace bricks commenced soon after that time, continuing until the early 1900s, The resulting man made caves came to be known as the Fireclay Caverns, which contained large openings that measure between 4–12 metres in height from the cave floor. Dinosaur footprints (preserved as infills) were later found in nine different sections of the Fireclay Caverns, lining the ceiling dated to the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian). Mount Morgan Post Office opened on 18 May 1885 (a receiving office had been open from 1884). Mount Morgan Central State School opened in 1887 and grew so rapidly that it was separated into two schools on different sites the following year, forming Mount Morgan Boys State School and Mount Morgan Girls and Infants State School. The word 'Central' was added to the name of these two schools from 1911. They were amalgamated back into one school in 1929. Circa 1888 1889 an Anglican church opened in Mount Morgan. The town of Mount Morgan grew in a haphazard fashion around the entrance to the mining lease near the Dee River from the early 1880s. By 1889 a number of the major religions had established congregations and erected churches including the Primitive Methodists (1885), the Catholics (1887) and the Anglicans (1889). That year the town's name was formally changed from 'South Calliungal' to 'Mount Morgan', and by 1891 the Queensland census recorded a population of 3514. Until the arrival of the railway in 1898, everything was transported by horse teams. The Mount Morgan Mining Company had a depot in Quay Street, where the wagoners would load up. Initially, there were two routes to Rockhampton, one via Crocodile (now Bouldercombe) and the other via Kabra, Boongarry and Moonmera. In 1885, a road was built over the Razorback Range. The railway line between Mount Morgan and Rockhampton opened on 26 November 1898, with two railway stations serving the locality:
Mount Morgan railway station, now abandoned
Walterhall railway station, now abandoned On 20 May 1900, on hearing the news of the relief of Mafeking, bonfires were lit on the hills around the town, the bands were playing, and patriotic speeches were made. The celebrations did not end there, as by November 1900, a "Mafeking" bell had been installed in a tower beside the town hall. The bell had been cast at the Mount Morgan Mine and weighed 7 cwt (360 kg). The sound of the bell was described as "blood curdling" and led to arguments as to whether the bell was cracked. By 1955, the wooden tower had rotted and the bell was taken down to be relocated to the verandah of the town hall. In 1969 the bell was relocated to the scout hall in Dee Street as the army leader at Mafeking was Lord Baden Powell who established the Scouting movement in 1907. In February 2018, the bell was returned to the main street of Mount Morgan as part of a streetscape redevelopment project. There is a popular story that the schoolchildren of Mount Isa funded the bell by donating pennies (either to pay for it or to be melted down to construct it), but the earliest sources so far identified for this story are from 1955,
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School opened in 1891 and closed in 1997. Red Hill State School opened on 1900 and closed circa 1931. It was in the Red Hill neighbourhood of Mount Morgan, and presumably is the origin of the name of School Street (approx ). Prior to the opening of the church, Baptist services had been held in the Forester's Hall. In April 1902 the Port Curtis Road Methodist Church building was purchased for removal and erected on the corner of East and Dee Streets in Mount Morgan. The stump capping ceremony was held on Saturday 12 May 1902. The official opening of the church was on Sunday 22 June 1902. Mount Morgan State High School opened on 22 January 1912. During the mining operation, most of the mountain was mined away, and the town now lies adjacent to a 43 m deep acid water filled pit. The Queensland Government have begun a rehabilitation project of the minesite. At the , the town of Mount Morgan had a population of 2,447. In the , the locality of Mount Morgan had a population of 2,115 people. In the , the locality of Mount Morgan had a population of 1,963 people. In the , the urban centre of Mount Morgan had a population of 2,487 people. In December 2020, a 24 kilometre mountain bike trail network was completed around No. 7 Dam, creating a new sporting facility for the area, as part of the Advancing Mount Morgan strategy with an aim to help boost tourism to the town.

There are a number of neighbourhoods within the locality:
Gordon Vale
Kenbula , located around the former Kenbula railway station
Talban , located around the former Talban railway station
The names Kenbula and Talban were both assigned by the Queensland Railway Department on 18 November 1911. Both are Aboriginal names, Kenbula meaning ironbark tree and Talban meaning stone curlew. The town takes its name from the family who took out the original gold mining leases in the area: Frederick Augustus Morgan and his brothers Thomas Squire Morgan and Edwin Francis Morgan. Over the years, the Mount Morgan Mine has produced gold, silver and copper. Among those making a fortune from this mine was William Knox D'Arcy. D'Arcy used his fortune to finance oil exploration in Iran, which led to the formation of the Anglo Persian Oil Company (now BP). Mining of clay in a nearby hill for the production of furnace bricks commenced soon after that time, continuing until the early 1900s, The resulting man made caves came to be known as the Fireclay Caverns, which contained large openings that measure between 4–12 metres in height from the cave floor. Dinosaur footprints (preserved as infills) were later found in nine different sections of the Fireclay Caverns, lining the ceiling dated to the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian). Mount Morgan Post Office opened on 18 May 1885 (a receiving office had been open from 1884). Mount Morgan Central State School opened in 1887 and grew so rapidly that it was separated into two schools on different sites the following year, forming Mount Morgan Boys State School and Mount Morgan Girls and Infants State School. The word 'Central' was added to the name of these two schools from 1911. They were amalgamated back into one school in 1929. Circa 1888 1889 an Anglican church opened in Mount Morgan. The town of Mount Morgan grew in a haphazard fashion around the entrance to the mining lease near the Dee River from the early 1880s. By 1889 a number of the major religions had established congregations and erected churches including the Primitive Methodists (1885), the Catholics (1887) and the Anglicans (1889). That year the town's name was formally changed from 'South Calliungal' to 'Mount Morgan', and by 1891 the Queensland census recorded a population of 3514. Until the arrival of the railway in 1898, everything was transported by horse teams. The Mount Morgan Mining Company had a depot in Quay Street, where the wagoners would load up. Initially, there were two routes to Rockhampton, one via Crocodile (now Bouldercombe) and the other via Kabra, Boongarry and Moonmera. In 1885, a road was built over the Razorback Range. The railway line between Mount Morgan and Rockhampton opened on 26 November 1898, with two railway stations serving the locality:
Mount Morgan railway station, now abandoned
Walterhall railway station, now abandoned On 20 May 1900, on hearing the news of the relief of Mafeking, bonfires were lit on the hills around the town, the bands were playing, and patriotic speeches were made. The celebrations did not end there, as by November 1900, a "Mafeking" bell had been installed in a tower beside the town hall. The bell had been cast at the Mount Morgan Mine and weighed 7 cwt (360 kg). The sound of the bell was described as "blood curdling" and led to arguments as to whether the bell was cracked. By 1955, the wooden tower had rotted and the bell was taken down to be relocated to the verandah of the town hall. In 1969 the bell was relocated to the scout hall in Dee Street as the army leader at Mafeking was Lord Baden Powell who established the Scouting movement in 1907. In February 2018, the bell was returned to the main street of Mount Morgan as part of a streetscape redevelopment project. There is a popular story that the schoolchildren of Mount Isa funded the bell by donating pennies (either to pay for it or to be melted down to construct it), but the earliest sources so far identified for this story are from 1955,
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School opened in 1891 and closed in 1997. Red Hill State School opened on 1900 and closed circa 1931. It was in the Red Hill neighbourhood of Mount Morgan, and presumably is the origin of the name of School Street (approx ). Prior to the opening of the church, Baptist services had been held in the Forester's Hall. In April 1902 the Port Curtis Road Methodist Church building was purchased for removal and erected on the corner of East and Dee Streets in Mount Morgan. The stump capping ceremony was held on Saturday 12 May 1902. The official opening of the church was on Sunday 22 June 1902. Mount Morgan State High School opened on 22 January 1912. During the mining operation, most of the mountain was mined away, and the town now lies adjacent to a 43 m deep acid water filled pit. The Queensland Government have begun a rehabilitation project of the minesite. At the , the town of Mount Morgan had a population of 2,447.

Кенбула және Тальбан атауларын Квинсленд теміржол департаменті 1911 жылғы 18 қарашада берген. Екі атау да аборигендік атаулар, Кенбула – темір қабық ағашын, ал Тальбан – тас керлігін білдіреді. Қаланың аты алғашқы алтын кен орнын жалға алған Морган отбасынан – Фредерик Август Морган мен оның бауырлары Томас Сквайр Морган мен Эдвин Фрэнсис Морганнан шыққан. Жылдар бойы Морган тауындағы кен орны алтын, күміс және мыс өндірген. Осы кен орнынан байлық жинағандардың арасында Уильям Нокс Д’Арси де болды. Д’Арси өзінің байлығын Иранда мұнайды барлауға жұмсады, нәтижесінде «Англо-Персия мұнай компаниясы» (қазіргі BP) құрылды. Жақын маңдағы төбеде пеш кірпіштерін жасау үшін қыш қазу сол кезде басталды және 1900 жылдардың басына дейін жалғасты. Соның нәтижесінде пайда болған адам жасаған үңгірлер Fireclay Caverns деп аталды, онда үңгір еденінен 4–12 метр биіктіктегі үлкен тесіктер бар. Динозавр іздері (толтырғыштар ретінде сақталған) кейіннен Fireclay Caverns-тің тоғыз түрлі бөлімінен табылды, олар ерте юра (синемур) дәуіріне жататын төбелерді алып тұрды. Моунт-Морган пошта бөлімі 1885 жылғы 18 мамырда ашылды (1884 жылдан бастап хат қабылдау бөлімі жұмыс істеген). Моунт-Морган орталық мемлекеттік мектебі 1887 жылы ашылды және өте тез өсіп, келесі жылы екі мектепке бөлінді: Моунт-Морган ұлдар мемлекеттік мектебі және Моунт-Морган қыздар мен балалар мемлекеттік мектебі. 1911 жылдан бастап осы екі мектептің атына «Орталық» сөзі қосылды. Олар 1929 жылы қайтадан біріктірілді. 1888–1889 жылдары Моунт-Морганде Англикан шіркеуі ашылды. Моунт-Морган қаласы 1880-ші жылдардың басында Ди өзенінің жанындағы кен орнына кіреберіс маңында хаостақ түрде өсті. 1889 жылға қарай көптеген ірі діндер қауымдастықтар құрып, шіркеулер салды, соның ішінде примитивті методистер (1885), католиктер (1887) және англикандар (1889). Сол жылы қаланың аты ресми түрде «Оңтүстік Каллиунгалдан» «Моунт-Морганға» өзгертілді, ал 1891 жылғы Квинсленд халық санағында 3514 адам тіркелді. 1898 жылы теміржол келгенге дейін барлық заттар аттармен тасымалданды. «Моунт-Морган» кен компаниясының Quay Street-те қоймасы болды, онда вагондар жүктелді. Бастапқыда Рокхэмптонға екі бағыт болды, біреуі Крокодил (қазіргі Боулдеркомб) арқылы, екіншісі Кабра, Бунгари және Мунмера арқылы. 1885 жылы Razorback Range-інің үстінен жол салынды. Моунт-Морган мен Рокхэмптон арасындағы теміржол желісі 1898 жылғы 26 қарашада ашылды, жергілікті жерге екі теміржол станциясы қызмет көрсетті: Моунт-Морган теміржол станциясы (қазір тасталған) және Уолтерхолл теміржол станциясы (қазір тасталған). 1900 жылғы 20 мамырда Мафекингтің құтқарылғаны туралы жаңалықты естігенде, қаланың төңірегіндегі төбелерде от жағылды, оркестрлер ойнады және патриоттық сөздер айтылды. Мерекелер осымен аяқталмады, өйткені 1900 жылдың қарашасына қарай қалалық әкімдіктің жанындағы мұнараға «Мафекинг» қоңырауы орнатылды. Бұл қоңырау Моунт-Морган кенішінде құйылған және салмағы 7 квт (360 кг) болды. Қоңыраудың дыбысы «қан қатыратындай» деп сипатталды және қоңырау жарылған ба деген пікірталастарға әкелді. 1955 жылы ағаш мұнара шіріп, қоңырау алып тасталып, қалалық әкімдіктің верандасына көшірілді. 1969 жылы қоңырау Ди көшесіндегі скауттар клубына көшірілді, өйткені Мафекингтегі армия басшысы Лорд Баден Пауэлл болды, ол 1907 жылы скауттар қозғалысын құрды. 2018 жылдың ақпан айында қоңырау қаланың көшелерін жаңарту жобасының бөлігі ретінде Моунт-Морганның негізгі көшесіне қайтарылды. Моунт-Иса мектебінің оқушылары қоңырауды ақшалай сыйға тарту арқылы қаржыландырды деген кең тараған әңгіме бар (оны төлеу үшін немесе одан жасау үшін балқыту үшін), бірақ осы оқиғаға дейін анықталған ең алғашқы көздер 1955 жылдан бастап, 1891 жылы ашылған және 1997 жылы жабылған Қасиетті жүрек католик бастауыш мектебі. Ред Хилл мемлекеттік мектебі 1900 жылы ашылып, 1931 жылға қарай жабылды. Бұл Моунт-Морганның Ред Хилл ауданында орналасқан, және бұл мектеп көшесінің (шамамен) атына себеп болды. Ғибадатхана ашылғанға дейін баптистердің ғибадатханасы Forester's Hall-да өткізілді. 1902 жылдың сәуір айында Порт-Кертис жолындағы методистік шіркеу ғимараты алынып, Моунт-Морганның Шығыс және Ди көшелерінің бұрышына орнатылды. Құрбандық шалу рәсімі 1902 жылғы 12 мамырда өтті. Шіркеудің ресми ашылуы 1902 жылғы 22 маусымда болды. Моунт-Морган мемлекеттік жоғары мектебі 1912 жылғы 22 қаңтарда ашылды. Кен өндіру кезінде таудың көп бөлігі алынып тасталды, ал қала қазір 43 метр тереңдіктегі қышқыл сумен толған шұңқырдың жанында орналасқан. Квинсленд үкіметі кен орнын қайта жаңарту жобасын бастады. 2011 жылғы халық санағы бойынша қаланың халқы 2447 адамды құрады. 2016 жылғы халық санағы бойынша Моунт-Морган ауданында 2115 адам тұрды. 2021 жылғы халық санағы бойынша Моунт-Морган ауданында 1963 адам тұрды. 2023 жылғы халық санағы бойынша Моунт-Морган қаласының халқы 2487 адамды құрады. 2020 жылдың желтоқсан айында №7 дамның айналасында 24 километрлік тау велосипеді жолдары желісі аяқталды, бұл аймақ үшін жаңа спорттық нысан құрылды, Моунт-Морганды дамыту стратегиясының бөлігі ретінде қалаға туризмді көбейту мақсатында жасалды.

Туризм бүгінде қала экономикасында маңызды рөл атқарады, ескі теміржол орталығында және №7 бөгеттегі демалыс аймағында келушілерді қарсы алу орталығы орналасқан. Бұл аймақта Австралиядағы сирек кездесетін тісті рельстік теміржолдардың бірі (Маунт Морганнан Рокхэмптонға созылған желінің бөлігі ретінде) болған. 1950 жылдары желінің тісті бөлігі қалыпты жабысу теміржолымен ауыстырылды, ал жолдың шағын бөлігі қала орталығында сақталды. Кезекте, жаңа желі 1987 жылы жабылды, соның салдарынан қала теміржолмен байланысын жоғалтты. Маунт Морган теміржол станциясы әлі де тұр және қазір мұражай және туристік ақпарат орталығы ретінде қызмет етеді. Рокхэмптон, Грейсемер және Маунт Морган қалалары арасында Young's Bus Service автобус компаниясы тұрақты автобус қатынайды.
Tourism plays a large part in the economy of the town today, with a visitor centre located at the old railway centre and recreation area at Dam No.7. The area was host to one of the few rack railways (as part of the line from Mount Morgan to Rockhampton) to operate in Australia. The rack portion of the line was replaced by a conventional adhesion railway in the 1950s, with a small portion of track retained at the town centre. In turn, the replacement line was closed in 1987, and the town no longer has a rail connection. The Mount Morgan railway station is still standing and now operates as a Museum and Tourist Information Centre. There is a regular bus service between Rockhampton, Gracemere and Mount Morgan provided by Young's Bus Service.
