The locality was named on 3 June 1994. Its name is derived from the town name of Laidley, which itself derives from the naming of Laidleys Plain by Allan Cunningham after James Laidley (1786-1835) New South Wales Deputy Commissary General.[2]
Laidley State School opened on 1 April 1864. In 1888 it was renamed Laidley South State School. The school closed on 9 December 1983.[3]
