Geography

The Dalby–Jandowae Road runs along the western boundary. [3]

History

The locality was named and bounded on 14 September 2001, having been previously the neighbourhood of Cooranga North. The name Cooranga comes from a pastoral run name, which was probably taken from a creek name, reportedly a Kabi language word meaning war spear.[2]

An extension of the Bell Branch railway line from Bell to Mount Mahen through Cooranga North was proposed by government in 1915 but never built.[4]

Cooranga North State School opened on 2 February 1914 and closed on 14 July 2003.[5][6] It was at 14 Cooranga North Niagara Road (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[7][8][9]

Nearby Mount Mahen Provisional School opened in 1925 and closed in 1929. Children from the Hunter family formed most of the small enrolments recorded.[10]

Our Lady of Sacred Heart Catholic Church opened on Sunday 11 September 1938 on land donated by Mrs Mary Gertrude O'Brien.[11][12] It was at 152 Cooranga North Niagara Road (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[13][14] On 28 June 2017 in the middle of the night, the church building was relocated to St Thomas More College in Sunnybank, Brisbane, where it is used as the school's chapel.[15][16] The relocation required two trucks, one for the church body and another for the roof, and the journey was 380 kilometres (240 mi).[13][17][18]

Cooranga North Presbyterian Church opened on Saturday 20 June 1953; however, Presbyterian services had been held in private homes and other local venues since 1914.[19]
