History
Pre European The Caboolture area is the traditional home of the Kabi Aboriginal people. The name "Kabultur" is derived from Kabi words meaning "Place of the Carpet Snake".[1] The Kabi people harvested bush food, fresh water mussels, oysters, fish, and some game animals, moving around the land to take best advantage of seasonally available produce. The Kabi nation are an Aboriginal Murri people, and corresponding language group of the South Eastern Queensland coast, stretching from Brisbane up to Gladstone. ...

Each year in March, the Kabi people would hold Bunya Festivals to feast on the plentiful and nutritious annual nuts of the Bunya Pine. These huge trees provided a food source which could sustain large numbers of people. Neighbouring clans were invited to the festivals, where singing, dancing story-telling, trading and arranging of marriages took place. Binomial name Araucaria bidwillii (Molina) K. Koch Araucaria bidwillii is a species in the genus Araucaria, family Araucariaceae. ...
1800s The Caboolture area was first settled in 1842 when the land around the Moreton Bay penal colony was opened up to free settlers. [2] Moreton Bay from space, from a NASA photograph Moreton Bay is a large bay on the eastern coast of Australia 19 km from Brisbane, Queensland. ...
By the mid 1860's the local pastoralists were experimenting with sugar cane and cotton. In 1867, a tiny settlement was established as a supply and trading centre for the settlers in the area and to service the needs of miners trekking from Brisbane to the goldfields near Gympie. The local shire was constituted in 1879 and in 1888 the railway line from Brisbane was opened.[3] The city of Gympie is located in south eastern Queensland, Australia, and is approximately 170 kilometers north of the state capital, Brisbane. ...
Timber was the principal industry of the area until the 1860s. The valuable red cedar, now very rare in the Shire, provided a good income for the timber getters. The massive logs were rafted down the Caboolture River to Deception Bay, from where they were taken by steamer to Brisbane. Settlers also made good use of the valuable timber, using it wherever possible for houses, barns and even fence posts.[citation needed] Timber in storage for later processing at a sawmill Timber is a term used to describe wood, either standing or that has been processed for use—from the time trees are felled, to its end product as a material suitable for industrial use—as structural material for construction or wood...

The first crown land sold in the area was auctioned in 1864 for one pound Sterling an acre. Soon, the area had a thriving agricultural industry. The first major crop was sugar cane, and soon wheat, maize and Indian corn were being grown on the river flats. Vegetables were grown for local consumption. After an early unsuccessful foray with a wool industry, damp-susceptible sheep were abandoned in favour of more hardy cattle.[citation needed] Crown land is a designated area belonging to the Crown, the equivalent of an entailed estate that passed with the monarchy and could not be alienated from it. ...

Settlement in Caboolture was accelerated with the discovery of gold at Gympie.

Recent history Formerly a small town, the location of Caboolture on the corridor between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast resulted in an influx of residents in the 1970s and 1980s. The two main factors in this expansion were the electrification of the railway line to Brisbane, enabling travel to the Brisbane CBD in less than an hour, and the development of the Bruce Highway to freeway (motorway) standard. There are several places around the globe that use the name Sunshine Coast. ...
Bruce Highway The Bruce Highway is the major coastal highway of Queensland, Australia. ...
In common with many outer areas of Brisbane, the Caboolture Shire Council encouraged the development of low-cost housing areas which were affordable compared to established areas in Brisbane. This policy resulted in estates of small houses on small blocks, often clad in low-cost materials such as 'fibro', a synthetic composite board.[citation needed]
At the same time, the Council allowed the subdivision of rural land into 'acreage' housing estates consisting of blocks of 3/4 acre, 2 acres and 5 acres.[citation needed]
Business and industry All the above groups have attracted a large expansion of retail and service industries, such as the Morayfield Shopping Centre - a major outer-Brisbane centre offering all the services enjoyed by any other Brisbane suburb.
