Logan River Road forms the western and south-western boundary of the locality. [6] [7]

History

Henry Eden was an early resident in the Waterford area, being involved within the timber industry. In 1865, he successfully obtained permission to operate a ferry service on a punt across the Logan River. [11]

In 1869, early settler Wilson Holliday built a small Wesleyan Methodist Church on his property, which was opened on Easter Sunday on 29 March 1869 by Reverend Issac Hardy. [12] [13] It was later relocated to Beenleigh. [14] [11]

The area remained rural for many decades, used primarily as an agricultural area and was known as Holmview Heights, until the late 20th century. The improvement of train services in the 1980s prompted Leighton Developers to fund the construction of a station at Edens Landing and the Place Names Board officially gazetted the name Edens Landing in November 1985. [15] [11]

The suburb was developed by Leighton Holdings throughout 1984 and 1985, [11] being formed in 1985, [5] however it was not named and bounded until February 1986. [16]

Edens Landing Seventh-Day Adventist Church opened in 1990 in a brick building. [17]

A rugby league club, the Edens Landing Dragons formed in 1993 with one open side playing in the Metropolitan Rugby League Competition. In 1994, the opens coach who had experience in establishing another Logan Rugby League Club was asked by Leighton Holdings whether a junior club would be feasible and a proposal was put to Logan Districts Juniors to join their competition in 1995 with junior sides. The club operated on Leighton fields. The club offered teams from under 7's to Opens but has since closed after around eleven seasons. It formally participated in a number of competitions in Brisbane. [18]

Edens Landing State School opened on 28 January 1997. [19]

In 2008, Edens Landing had a number of shops most of which were located on a small complex near Leighton Fields on Castile Crescent, including a childcare centre, medical centre, spa general shop, pharmacy, fish & chip shop, bakery, hairdresser, a sushi take-out store, and real estate agent. [10]
