[edit] History

Jannali is an Aboriginal word, meaning beautiful moonrise, originating from the people of the Northern Territory. It is also employed as a female given name.

The area began to develop with the arrival of the railway line in 1884. However, the railway station at Jannali was not built until 1931. The department of railways paid for the construction of the railway station and ramps while the local council paid for the road bridge over the station. This attracted residents to the suburb and many more homes were built after World War II when blocks of land were offered to returned servicemen.

Jannali High School was formed in 1992 from the amalgamation of Jannali Girls High School and Jannali Boys High School.
