History
The locality takes its name from its school, which was named Wilson Valley after Sam Wilson, described as the "founder of the valley" and who was then enlisted for military service in World War I.

Although approval to establish the school was refused in July 1916 due to some of the students leaving the district resulting in too few students for the 18 required to establish a school, Mr J. Stines offered to building a provisional school building at his own expanse on his own land, an offer accepted by the government. Wilson Valley Provisional School opened on 4 October 1916 under teacher Mrs W. Brown junior. In June 1818, the government agreed to erect a state school building. On 1 October 1918, it became Wilson Valley State School. The school closed on 14 May 1944. It was on Fowlers Road (-25.55058°N, 151.83853°W).
