== History ==
The name Eidsvold is the name of the pastoral run operated in 1847-48 by [[Archer brothers|Thomas Archer and David Archer]], using the name of the [[Eidsvoll|town in Norway]] where the [[Norwegian Constitution|Norwegian constitution]] was signed in 1814.<ref name=qpnl/> Although originally from Scotland, the Archer family immigrated to Norway prior to immigrating to Queensland.<ref>{{Citation |last=O'Keeffe |first=Mary |title=Archer, David (1816–1900) |url=https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/archer-david-2222 |work=Australian Dictionary of Biography |access-date=2023-09-05 |publisher=National Centre of Biography, Australian National University |language=en}}</ref>
