It is located 284 kilometres (176 mi) north of Brisbane and 37 kilometres (23 mi) west of Hervey Bay. In the 2021 census, the locality of Howard had a population of 1,394 people.[1]
Geography
Torbanlea is on the east side of the Burrum River and Howard on the west side of the Burrum River. The distance between the towns is 5.1 kilometres (3.2 miles), and they were known as twin towns.[citation needed]
Maria Creek runs through the town and discharges into the Burrum River downstream of the Howard boat ramp.
The Bruce Highway passes through the locality in an east–west direction skirting the edge of the town. Queensland's North Coast railway line passes in a NW-SE direction through the town centre. The main streets of Howard are Steley and William.[4]
History
The town was originally known as Steley (after Abel Steley) but was renamed after William Howard, a pioneer in coal mining in the Burrum area.[2][5][6]
Abel Steley commenced coal mining in the area in 1856. After a series of setbacks, he eventually established the successful Beauford Colliery and the Queensland Collieries Company.[7]
In 1877 George Howard and his son William established the Howard Colliery.[8]
From the 1860s the coal from the Burrum coalfields was transported to the port at Maryborough for loading onto boats.[9] From 1877 the 44-ton stern-wheel steamer Barbara and Jane commenced navigating the Burrum River to transport the coal to Maryborough.[10] In 1883 the railway line from Maryborough to the Burrum River opened, and was known as the Burrum line. However until the railway bridge was opened in April 1884, the coal could not be transported by this means.[11][12][13] Over the decades, various plans were mooted to move the coal, either through a proposed port at the mouth of the Burrum River, or through the deep water port at Urangan. Burrum coalfields coal supplied the Howard power station which operated from 1951 to 1980.[14][15]
On Sunday 30 March 1884 a Primitive Methodist Church was opened in Howard.[24][25] With the amalgamation of the various Methodist denominations c 1900, it became the Howard Methodist Church and with the amalgamation of the Methodist Church into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1977, it became the Howard Uniting Church.[26][27]
The 140th anniversary of the Howard Uniting Church and also VanCootens Grocery, Hardware & Stockfeed was celebrated with a Community Day on 7 September 2024.[28]
The Howard War Memorial was unveiled by Colin Rankin on 17 December 1921. Unusually for an Australian war memorial, the statue was made in Italy and depicts a soldier in Italian uniform.[30]
In May 1984, the Bruce Highway bypass was opened. Previously the highway had run through the town on Robertson Street. Neighbouring Torbanlea was also bypassed as part of same project.[31]
The Howard Library opened in 2000 and underwent a major refurbishment in 2014.[32]
The historic wooden foot bridge over the railway line in Steley Street near the C.W.A Hall was demolished in 2016 as it became too expensive to maintain. It was a popular spot for photographing trains traveling north or south.[citation needed]
