How the name Toowoomba was derived is still a point of argument. There are several theories, including:

• that it derived from the aboriginal word for swamp which is Tawampa as the Aborigines had no "s" in their vocabulary.
• that the aboriginal interpretation for "reeds in the swamp" Woomba Woomba was used as the original source
• that the word Toowoomba was taken from the aboriginal term for a native melon "Toowoom" or "Choowoom" which grew plentifully in the township.
