History

The suburb was named after Pinjarra Road which travels through the suburb. However, the origin of the road name is unknown. [3]

In the 1860s Patrick Mayne purchased the land now owned by the University of Queensland. Following the death of Patrick Mayne, it was inherited by his son William. In 1922 William's death resulted in his siblings Dr James O'Neil Mayne and his sister Miss Mary Emelia Mayne inheriting the land. In 1923 the Mayne siblings gave the land to the University of Queensland to enhance the teaching of agriculture. [7] It was known as the Moggill Farm. However, circa 2000 when the university began to plan the relocation of its agriculture and veterinary disciplines to its new Gatton campus which had its own farm, the role of the Moggill Road became unclear. Rumours circulated that the university tended to sell the land for housing which attracted considerable protest. In 2008 the university denied having such plans, suggesting that the rumours arose from the idea being used as a student exercise in a master class, but did not disclose its plans for the site. [8] [9]
