Geography

[edit]

History

[edit]
Game of rounders, 1913

A Wesleyan Methodist church opened on Tarampa Road on Sunday 20 August 1871. It was described as a "well built slab building, on a good site, and will seat about a hundred persons". It was erected by local people.[4][5]

Glamorgan Vale Post Office opened on 1 January 1872 and closed in 1972.[6] Thomas Pratt from Somerset, England was the first postmaster.[7]

Pratt also had the licence for the Glamorgan hotel from 1880 to 1895 and again from 1898 to 1899.[7] He and his family settled in Ipswich, naming their home Glamorganvale. The Hotel was redeveloped and now operates as the Bottletree Hotel.

Glamorgan Vale State School opened on 12 July 1875.[8] Glamorgan Vale State School celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2015. The school originally had a principal's house next door which was demolished and turned into a sports field.[citation needed]

The area was designated for new housing growth in the 2016 draft release of the South East Queensland Regional Plan.[9]
