History of Browns Plains and Hillcrest

In 1840, surveyor Robert Dixon named Browns Plains, an area used for grazing cattle and provided beef and meat to the Moreton Bay convict settlement. In the early 1860’s, the track for horse and coach passed through the small township of Browns Plains. This provided accommodation for the coach teams.

In the early 1870’s, George Stretton established a post office, shop and accommodation house. His hotel was licensed in 1876-7 and a school was established the next year. The school was funded by locals.

Early settlers included the Cronks and Johnsons. Johnson Road in Hillcrest is named in their honour.

Browns Plains remained as agricultural land until the early 1970’s when businesses and housing estates began to emerge. Today’ Browns Plains and the adjacent suburb of Hillcrest are home to many small to medium size businesses, factories and industrial estates as well as Stretton State College and the Logan Metro Sports Centre.
