History

This suburb’s name stems from the aboriginal word Kulpurum for Norman Creek. Coorparoo is one of the oldest suburbs in Brisbane.

During a public town meeting in 1875, Coorparoo was chosen as the name of the suburb. Before this, it was known as the Four Mile Camp. Suburb growth began when the land began to sell off in the 1850’s, which was sold from the parish of Bulimba. In the 1880’s a land boom was seen, where sub-divisions were offered to the public.

The addition of the Stanley Street Bridge and the Stanley bridge estate made this area more attractive to potential buyers. At this point, Coorparoo was still part of the Bulimba divisional board, however, due to the vote of the majority, the shire of Coorparoo was eventually created. After World War 1, the property market in Coorparoo began to boom, which has only continued.
