The name Glengallan derives from the name of the pastoral run, taken up by Colin and John Campbell in 1841.[2]

Glengallan Station School opened circa 1886 for the education for the children of staff of Glengallan Station. In 1891 it became Glengallan Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Glengallon State School. It closed in 1921. In late 1922 or early 1923 it was amalgamated with Wilsonville State School to become Mount Marshall State School.[4]
