Caboolture has a rich, yet quiet history. With its proximity to Brisbane, capital of the Queensland, Caboolture was one of the first areas of the State opened to European settlement.
Beachmere is located just south of Bribie Island on the mainland with the waters of Deception Bay lapping its foreshores and the mouth of the Caboolture River opening into these waters.
The area was first settled in 1842 when the land around the Moreton Bay penal colony was opened up to free settlers.
The D'Aguilar Range is named after Sir George D'Aguilar, a military officer who wrote the army textbook in use at the time.
The area was once large parcels of land supporting dairying and farming and while some large blocks remain today, most have been subdivided to provide housing for a growing community.
At one time the township was known as Little Caloundra.
The name Mt Mee was possibly derived from the aboriginal word 'mia-mia' meaning view or lookout,
Narangba in its Aboriginal origin meant small ridge, and that describes the area where the railway station with its associated township was situated.
Today Toorbul is still a fishing village with the added attraction of peace and tranquillity.
The town lies on the D'Aguilar Highway only a short distance from Caboolture with soil perfect for small crop farming.
Woodford is traditionally a dairy farming and timber town and still is one of the few towns where there are weekly cattle sales held in the yards in the main street.
