History

The name Bryden comes from the name of the first settler in the area. The area was originally named Deep Creek. [2]

Mount Brisbane Provisional School opened on 17 April 1876 in a bark hut built for free by Mr Carl Blank. There was an initial enrolment of 26 students with one teacher Mr Goodwin. [3] In 1879, it became Mount Brisbane State School. In 1893, it was renamed Deep Creek State School. In 1930, it was renamed Bryden State School. From 1929 low students numbers caused a number of temporary closures, shared teacher arrangements with Dundas State School, and correspondence school arrangements. In 1936 all teaching ceased at the school. On 14 April 1947, the school reopened as Bryden Provisional School. It closed on 13 May 1963. [4] It was on a 3-acre (1.2 ha) site on Loughrans Road ( 27°16′11″S152°34′58″E / 27.2696°S 152.5827°E / -27.2696; 152.5827 (Bryden State School (former)) ). [5] [6] [7]

On Sunday 19 August 1900, the foundation stone was laid for a Catholic church by Reverend Father Ryan. [8] On Sunday 17 February 1901, the church was officially opened and dedicated as St Anne's Catholic Church by Ryan, as Archbishop Dunne was unable to attend. [9] The church with a cemetery at the rear was on a 2-acre (0.81 ha) site at 2479 Wivenhoe Somerset Road (corner of Corcorans Road, 27°14′37″S152°34′15″E / 27.2435°S 152.5709°E / -27.2435; 152.5709 (St Anne's Catholic Church (former)) ). [10] The church is no longer extant but the cemetery remains. [11]

On Sunday 18 December 1927, the Bryden Hall burned down after having been used on Saturday night. [12] [13] The new Bryden Hall was officially opened on Saturday 1 September 1928 by Ernest Grimstone, the local Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. [14] [15] In 1980, the hall was relocated to the Esk Showgrounds. [16]

At the 2011 census, Bryden was included in the population statistics for a wider area including Crossdale, which recorded a population of 190. [17]

In the 2016 census, Bryden had a population of 33 people. [1]
