History
From 1840 to 1860 William Norris had a sheep station of 16,000 acres (6,500 ha) between the Oxley Creek and the Logan River which he called Mun Rubens which is believed to be derived from the Bundjalung language name for a local lagoon. The locality was officially named in 1991 (when it was in the Shire of Beaudesert).On 6 July 1882, Norris's daughter Emma Evans and three of her children (Richard William, Ruth and Edward) drowned in the Logan River while crossing the river in a dinghy which was in poor condition. There is a memorial for the family in Gieseman Park.
Formerly in the Shire of Beaudesert, Munruben became part of Logan City following the local government amalgamations in March 2008.
