History

Swan Creek Cattle, circa 1899

A creek called Swan Creek first appears on Buxton's 1864 Darling Downs District Map as part of the Canning Downs pastoral run. By 1883 a smaller pastoral run called Swan Creek had been split off from Canning Downs. It is presumed that the creek acquired its name from the presence of swans at the creek.[2]

In the 2016 census, Swan Creek had a population of 139 people.[1]
