==History== Bladensburg lies in the area of what was once [[Koa people|Koa]] tribal territory and, on white settlement, was taken over to run a sheep station,<ref name="herqldout"/> known as Bladensburg Station. This was the site of the alleged [[List of massacres of Indigenous Australians#1870s 2|Bladensburg massacre]], in which around 200 Aboriginal people were killed in {{circa}}1872 at Skull Hole, on the head of Mistake Creek.<ref>Lumholtz: Among Cannibals: an account of four years travels in Australia, and of camp life with the aborigines of Queensland (London 1889) page 58-9: ''Queenslander'' 20 Apr 1901, page 757-758: "The Massacre of the Blacks at the Skull Hole on Mistake Creek". See also Timothy Bottoms, ''Conspiracy of Silence'', page 172-174.</ref> The {{cvt|84,900|ha}} of national park were declared in 1984.{{cn|date=May 2022}}
