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.

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.

Названия Кенбула и Талбан были присвоены Департаментом железных дорог Квинсленда 18 ноября 1911 года. Оба названия – аборигенные, Кенбула означает дерево железной коры, а Талбан – каменный кулик. Город получил свое название от семьи, взявшей первоначальные золотодобывающие лицензии в этом районе: Фредерик Август Морган и его братья Томас Сквайр Морган и Эдвин Фрэнсис Морган. На протяжении многих лет шахта Маунт Морган добывала золото, серебро и медь. Среди тех, кто сделал состояние на этой шахте, был Уильям Нокс Д’Арси. Д’Арси использовал свое состояние для финансирования нефтяных разведок в Иране, что привело к образованию Anglo Persian Oil Company (ныне BP). Добыча глины в близлежащем холме для производства печных кирпичей началась вскоре после этого и продолжалась до начала 1900-х годов. В результате образовавшиеся искусственные пещеры стали известны как пещеры огнеупорной глины, содержащие большие проемы высотой от 4 до 12 метров от пола пещеры. Следы динозавров (сохранившиеся в виде заполнений) позже были обнаружены в девяти различных участках пещер огнеупорной глины, выстилающих потолок, датированные ранней юрой (синемур). Почтовое отделение Маунт-Морган открылось 18 мая 1885 года (почтовый пункт работал с 1884 года). Центральная государственная школа Маунт-Морган открылась в 1887 году и росла так быстро, что в следующем году была разделена на две школы на разных участках, образовав государственную школу для мальчиков Маунт-Морган и государственную школу для девочек и младенцев Маунт-Морган. Слово «Центральная» было добавлено к названиям этих двух школ с 1911 года. Они были вновь объединены в одну школу в 1929 году. Около 1888–1889 годов в Маунт-Моргане открылась англиканская церковь. Город Маунт-Морган рос хаотично вокруг входа в горнодобывающую лицензию возле реки Ди с начала 1880-х годов. К 1889 году ряд основных религий основали общины и воздвигли церкви, включая примитивных методистов (1885), католиков (1887) и англиканцев (1889). В том же году название города было официально изменено с «Южный Каллиунгал» на «Маунт Морган», и к 1891 году перепись населения Квинсленда зафиксировала население в 3514 человек. До появления железной дороги в 1898 году все перевозилось конными повозками. У горнодобывающей компании Маунт Морган был склад на Квей-стрит, где грузчики загружали повозки. Первоначально существовало два маршрута до Рокхэмптона: один через Крокодил (ныне Боулдеркомб), а другой через Кабра, Бунгари и Мунмера. В 1885 году была построена дорога через хребет Рэйзорбек. Железнодорожная линия между Маунт-Морганом и Рокхэмптоном открылась 26 ноября 1898 года, и в районе работали две железнодорожные станции: железнодорожная станция Маунт-Морган, ныне заброшенная, и железнодорожная станция Уолтерхолл, ныне заброшенная. 20 мая 1900 года, узнав о снятии осады Мафекинга, на холмах вокруг города были зажжены костры, играли оркестры и произносились патриотические речи. Празднования на этом не закончились, так как к ноябрю 1900 года в башне рядом с ратушей был установлен колокол «Мафекинг». Колокол был отлит на шахте Маунт-Морган и весил 7 центнеров (360 кг). Звук колокола был описан как «леденящий кровь» и вызвал споры о том, треснул ли колокол. К 1955 году деревянная башня сгнила, и колокол был снят, чтобы переместить его на веранду ратуши. В 1969 году колокол был перенесен в скаутский зал на улице Ди, поскольку военачальником в Мафекинге был лорд Баден-Пауэлл, основавший скаутское движение в 1907 году. В феврале 2018 года колокол был возвращен на главную улицу Маунт-Моргана в рамках проекта реконструкции улиц. Существует популярная история о том, что школьники Маунт-Иса профинансировали колокол, жертвуя пенни (либо для его оплаты, либо для переплавки с целью его изготовления), но самые ранние источники этой истории, найденные на сегодняшний день, датируются 1955 годом.

Начальная католическая школа Святого Сердца открылась в 1891 году и закрылась в 1997 году. Государственная школа Ред-Хилл открылась в 1900 году и закрылась примерно в 1931 году. Она находилась в районе Ред-Хилл Маунт-Моргана и, вероятно, является происхождением названия Школьной улицы (приблизительно). До открытия церкви в зале Форестеров проводились богослужения баптистов. В апреле 1902 года здание методистской церкви Порт-Кертис Роуд было куплено для демонтажа и установлено на углу улиц Ист и Ди в Маунт-Моргане. Церемония установки завершающего камня состоялась в субботу, 12 мая 1902 года. Официальное открытие церкви состоялось в воскресенье, 22 июня 1902 года. Государственная средняя школа Маунт-Морган открылась 22 января 1912 года. Во время горнодобывающих работ большая часть горы была разработана, и теперь город расположен рядом с кислотной водой глубиной 43 метра. Правительство Квинсленда начало проект реабилитации горнодобывающего участка. В переписи населения 2016 года в городе Маунт-Морган проживало 2447 человек. В переписи населения 2021 года в районе Маунт-Морган проживало 2115 человек. В переписи населения 2011 года в районе Маунт-Морган проживало 1963 человека. В переписи населения 2016 года в городском центре Маунт-Морган проживало 2487 человек. В декабре 2020 года была завершена 24-километровая сеть трасс для горных велосипедов вокруг плотины № 7, создав новый спортивный объект для этого района в рамках стратегии «Развитие Маунт-Моргана» с целью стимулирования туризма в городе.

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,

Достопримечательности
Туризм играет значительную роль в экономике города сегодня, с центром для посетителей, расположенным в старом железнодорожном центре и зоной отдыха у плотины №7. В этом районе проходила одна из немногих зубчатых железных дорог (как часть линии от Маунт-Моргана до Рокхэмптона), действовавших в Австралии. В 1950-х годах зубчатый участок линии был заменен на обычную железную дорогу с использованием силы трения, при этом небольшой участок пути был сохранен в центре города. Впоследствии, замененная линия была закрыта в 1987 году, и город больше не имеет железнодорожного сообщения. Здание железнодорожной станции Маунт-Морган сохранилось и сейчас функционирует как музей и туристический информационный центр. Регулярное автобусное сообщение между Рокхэмптоном, Грейсемером и Маунт-Морганом обеспечивает автобусная компания Young's Bus Service.
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.
