History
View towards the town as seen from Cunninghams Lookout, 2011

The town was called Normanby from about 1859 to 1931. However, that caused confusion with another town called Normanby on the road from Ipswich to Harrisville, resulting in this town being renamed Warrill View, a name that was already in use for the school and post office. The name Warrill comes from the name of the local creek, whose name is allegedly an Aboriginal word meaning water or stream.[4]

Warrill View State School opened on 15 September 1910.[5]

At the 2011 census the locality recorded a population of 321.[6]
