History

The name Wolfang is derived from the Wolfang pastoral station, which was named for the local mountain (now known as Wolfang Peak) by pastoralist Claudius A. Ker in the 1850s, because of its resemblance to a canine tooth ("wolf fang").{{Cite QPN|37821|Wolfang|parish in the Isaac Region|access-date=30 December 2024}}{{Cite QPN|37823|Wolfang Peak|peak in the Isaac Region|access-date=30 December 2024}}{{cite book |last=de Satge |first=Oscar |url=https://archive.org/details/pagesfromjournal00desa/page/148 |title=Pages from the journal of a Queensland squatter |date=1901 |publisher=Hurst and Blackett |pages=148}}
