History of Upper Caboolture

A settlement at Upper Caboolture predated the survey of the Caboolture township in 1869.

The post office directory in 1915 recorded a mail contractor, four timber getters and several farmers (mainly dairy) at Upper Caboolture. By 1949 the directory recorded more farmers, 23 of whom were in dairying and 14 who grew bananas.

Formerly a rural area on the fringe of the town of Caboolture, since the 1990s the Upper Caboolture has become increasingly urbanised.
