History

Brightview Farm, 1905 StateLibQld 1 201483 Brightview farm near Lowood, 1905.jpg
Brightview Farm, 1905

Brightview was originally named Tarampa Flats and then Lobethal. It is thought the present name was the name of a pastoral property owned by Ernest Christian Frederick Beutel. [2] Due to the number of local areas which had "Tarampa" as part of their place name, local residents met in February 1906 to propose that their area had a new name and submitted a list of propsed new names to the Education department and the postal authorities. [5] The name Brightview as the local place name is in use from at least July 1906. [6]

Tarampa Flat Provisional School opened on 25 November 1902, being renamed Brightview Provisional School in 1906. It became Brightview State School on 1 January 1909. A new school building was erected in 1935. [7] It closed on 11 May 1962. [8] It was at 1060 Brightview Road ( 27°29′58″S152°29′54″E / 27.49938°S 152.49831°E / -27.49938; 152.49831 (Brightview State School (former)) ). [9] [10] [11]

By 1911, an Apostolic congregation was already meeting in Tarampa Flats. [12] In 1914, the Brightview Apostolic Church was erected. [13] [14]
