== History == Hatton Vale, originally known as "Tarampa Woolshed" was settled by German migrants in the 1870s as part of a closer settlement arrangement.<ref name=QP /> The migrants established a Lutheran church in 1881 and an Apostolic church in 1889. The evangelist Heinrich Friedrich Niemeyer established Hatton Vale as the centre of the Apostolic Church of Queensland.<ref name=QP />
Hatton Vale Provisional School opened in 1881. On 18 October 1886, it became Hatton Vale State School.<ref name="QP" /><ref name="qfhs">{{Citation|author1=Queensland Family History Society|title=Queensland schools past and present|publication-date=2010|edition=Version 1.01|publisher=Queensland Family History Society|isbn=978-1-921171-26-0}}</ref>

The locality remained overwhelmingly German in character. A survey in 1902 identified 90% of the farmers in the area had German surnames and this was still the case in 1949.<ref name=QP />
In 1939 the Apostolic Church of Queensland decided to build a cathedral, but its construction was delayed by World War II and then by a shortage of building materials. The foundation stone was finally laid on 4 September 1948. The Hatton Vale Apostolic Cathedral was dedicated on Saturday 2 December 1950 by the Australian leader of the church, Apostle E. Zielke of Bundaberg. The ceremony was attended by nearly 2,000 people.<ref name="QP" /> The church has a {{Convert|91|ft||abbr=|adj=on}} spire, making it a landmark in the district.<ref>{{cite news|date=4 December 1950|title=NEW APOSTOLIC CHURCH AT HATTON VALE DEDICATED|page=2 (DAILY)|newspaper=Queensland Times|issue=19,944|location=Queensland, Australia|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article117264288|access-date=23 September 2020|via=National Library of Australia|archive-date=26 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220826043813/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/117264288|url-status=live}}</ref>
