More About Eagle Farm
A former site of the Moreton Bay Penal Colony established in 1829, Eagle Farm is an industrial suburb approximately 8km north-east of Brisbane’s CBD. Originally chosen for the suburb’s prime grazing and farming land, Eagle Farm continues to play host to a huge variety of commercial and manufacturing activities.
Thought to have originally been named for the eagles that were frequently observed around the prison farm, Eagle Farm hosted the first race meeting of the Queensland Turf Club in 1865 at the Eagle Farm Racecourse which is in present day Ascot. With the opening of the first post office in 1897 and remaining open until the 1940’s, original records for the suburb reveal a long industrial history with several large industries such as Caltex, Commonwealth Industrial Gases and Independent Oil Industries selecting Eagle Farm as the base for their operations in Brisbane.
With a local railway opening in 1882 to service the racecourse and a subsequent extension through to Pinkenba in 1897, Eagle Farm saw many of the suburb’s original low-lying land filled with spoil from river dredging operations to boost industrial development. Further farmland was developed in the 1920’s to establish Brisbane’s domestic aerodrome with the site working alongside the Archerfield airway until 1948 when Eagle Farm was designated as the main domestic airport for the city, later becoming its own suburb. Eagle Farms proximity to major arterial roads, motorways and ports has continued to ensure the suburbs desirability for local manufacturing and commercial activity.
