East End is a locality in the Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia.[2]
History
The area was originally known as Wilmott after a squatter called Wilmott who brought two flocks of sheep into the area in 1855. One flock was situated near a lagoon approximately 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) long, now called Wilmot Lagoon (23°51′07″S 150°59′02″E / 23.8519°S 150.9838°E).[3][4]
Willmott State School opened on 26 April 1915.[5] In 1936, it was renamed East End State School. The school closed in 1963.[6] It was located at 23°52′42″S 150°56′38″E / 23.8782°S 150.9439°E.[7]
In the 2011 census, East End was included with neighbouring Bracewell; together they had a population of 462 people.[1]
