Dalby  is a town and locality in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia. Dalby is approximately 82.3 kilometres west of Toowoomba, 208 kilometres west northwest of the state capital, Brisbane The name of the town is believed to come from the village of Dalby on the Isle of Man and reflects immigration from the Isle of Man in the mid-19th century.

Dalby was believed to have a healthy climate and in 1900 the Queensland Government built the Jubilee Sanitorium for consumptive patients. In 1904 the Dalby Town Council erected therapeutic thermal baths using artesian water from a local bore for those wishing to improve their health by “taking the waters“.  In 1938, the council closed the artesian baths as interest in “taking the waters” was declining
