Geography

Historically a fruit-growing district, [3] the current land use is predominantly rural residential housing with some grazing and horticulture. [4]

History

Following the establishment of a settlement there about 1890, the locality was named Ilkley after Ilkey in Yorkshire, England, the home town of the local preacher Joseph Kitson. [2]

On 16 May 1891, the 10-acre (4.0 ha) Portion 22 of the Parish of Mooloolah was reserved for a school. [5] Tenders were called to erect the school in December 1900. [6] Ilkley Provisional School opened on 25 November 1901 under head teacher Walter Jeremy. An official opening was held on 17 January 1902. [7] It became Ilkley State School on 1 January 1909. In 1924, it briefly became a part-time school sharing a teacher with Chevallum State School. After that, Ilkley State School remained a full-time school until its final closure on 31 December 1964 due to low student attendance. [8] It was at 525 Ilkley Road ( 26°42′59″S152°59′50″E / 26.71629°S 152.99710°E / -26.71629; 152.99710 (Ilkley State School (former)) ). [9] [10] [11] The Coolum Branch of the Q.C.W.A. purchased the school building in December 1966 and relocated it to Coolum. [12]
