History

The locality was named after three of the original settlers in the area by combining parts of their surnames (Kinnear, Leys, Morey), and also used this as the railway station name from 2 March 1923. Previously the railway station was called ''Mobill'' (reported as a Waka language word meaning ''stony country''). Kinleymore Provisional School opened on 20 June 1913. On 1 February 1918, it became Kinleymore State School. It closed on 31 December 1969. The school was on the southern corner of Kinleymore School Road and Middle Road (). The section of the Proston railway line that passes through the locality closed on 25 January 1993. A community hall existed at Kinleymore for several decades until it was removed to another location. A 1920 newspaper notice in the '' Nanango News'' listing polling places for the October state election, mentions a Seymour's Hall at Kinleymore. In the very earliest days of settlement Mr. A.Ley operated a butcher shop at Kinleymore. Easton, E.W. (1950). Wilderness to Wealth (1st ed.).
