History

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]

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. It closed on 11 May 1962.^[5]

It is unclear when the Apostolic church opened, but an Apostolic congregation was already established in Tarampa Flats by 1911.^[6]
