Petrie is situated in the Yugarabul traditional Indigenous Australian country. Thomas Petrie established his homestead Murrumba on a bend on the Pine River in 1858. Tom Petrie was part of the Petrie family, who were the first free settlers in Queensland and who established their prominent construction business in 1840. Murrumba was an important stopping point on the route to the goldfields in Gympie. Tom Petrie subdivided a portion of his land to create the town, initially known as North Pine. North Pine River Crossing Provisional School opened on 22 April 1874. As the students were located on both sides of the Pine River, the teacher would teach the students on the south side of the river in the morning and then row across the river to teach the students on the north side of the river in the afternoon. This arrangement continued until 1877, when a bridge was established at Sweeney's Reserve, allowing all students to attend on the north side of the river. In 1879, it was renamed Pine River North State School. In 1896, it was renamed North Pine State School. In 1956, it became Petrie State School.
