History

Capalaba received its name from the Indigenous Yugarabul people. Cleverly, Capalaba’s name is derived from their name for the Ring Tail Possum. The Ring Tail Possum is a native inhabitant of the area that can still be found foraging for insects and berries at night.

European settlement began in the mid 1800’s and was largely led by farmers, lumberjacks and saw mill operators. There was a boom in the population during the 1900’s and in 1960 construction of the Leslie Harrison Dam made this location highly sought after due to being a major source of freshwater. Construction of this dam prompted a further influx in the suburb’s population and has seen a steady growth ever since.
