Jimbour East is a rural locality in the Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] Jimbour East is relatively flat farming land (elevation 350–450 metres).

The town of Jimbour is located in the south-western part of the locality,[4] 236 kilometres (147 mi) west of the state capital, Brisbane.

[5] The town name was first used by 1841 by Henry Dennis for his Jimbour pastoral run, with the apparent meaning of either "sheep" or "good grass" in an unrecorded Aboriginal language.

[2] In 1877, 40,000 acres (16,000 ha) of land was resumed from the Jimbour pastoral run to establish smaller farms.

[9][7][10] The Jimbour Memorial Hall is the second such building on that site, the first having blown down in a severe storm in 1949.
