History edit
In the 1930s, a railway station in the area was named Kagaru, a Ugarapul word for the blue-winged kookaburra. In 1996, the locality was formally bounded and took the name of the railway station.[4]
Formerly in the Shire of Beaudesert, Kagaru became split between Logan City and Scenic Rim Region following the local government amalgamations in March 2008.[4]
In the 2016 census, Kagaru had a population of 13 people.
