Sladevale is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Sladevale had a population of 433 people.[1]
History
[edit]In 1897, the residents of Campbell's Plains began to lobby for a school,[3] declaring in 1898 that there were more than fifty children in the district.[4] In 1899, the Queensland Government called for tenders to erect the school and teacher's residence. Campbell's Plains State School opened on 13 November 1899 under headmaster James Allen Ferguson.[5] In 1900, the post office at the school was renamed Sladevale because the name Campbell's Plains was too common.[6] In 1903, the school was renamed Sladevale State School. The school closed in 1932 and its teacher's resident relocated to Applethorpe.[7][8] Local residents tried to have the school re-opened in 1937 without success.[9] In 1944, it was agreed to re-open the school with about 17 students.[10][11] It closed on 28 April 1967.[12][13] It was at 12739 Cunningham Highway (28°09′57″S 152°04′18″E / 28.16595°S 152.07166°E).[14][15]
Campbells Plains railway station (28°09′02″S 152°06′11″E / 28.1505°S 152.1030°E) and Sladevale railway station (28°10′28″S 152°04′09″E / 28.17451°S 152.06909°E) were on the former Maryvale railway line.[16][17]
