Geography

Rangeville is located 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-east of the Toowoomba city centre.

The suburb's eastern boundary is along the top of the Great Dividing Range and is home to four reserves:

History

As closer settlement moved further along the range from Toowoomba, the suburb appears to have been named Rangeville to distinguish it from The Range, which was the general term for the area along the Great Dividing Range. [11]

The Range State School opened on 1 July 1909. In December 1909, it was renamed Rangeville State School. [12]

On Saturday 20 April 1912, a stump-capping ceremony was conducted for the Rangeville Methodist Church. [13] It was officially opened on Sunday 28 July 1912. [14] [15] [16] A new church was built in 1963, becoming Rangeville Uniting Church in 1977 with the amalgamation of the Methodist Church into the Uniting Church in Australia. The church was at 13-17 High Street ( 27°34′50″S151°58′42″E / 27.5806°S 151.9784°E / -27.5806; 151.9784 (Rangeville Methodist Church (former)) ). [17] In 2004, it became Rangeville Community Church, which established a new church complex in Mackenzie Street in 2011. [18] Since 2010, the former Methodist/Uniting Church building is now a childcare centre. [19]

In 1955 William Brennan, Roman Catholic Bishop of Toowoomba, invited the Christian Brothers to establish a boys' school in eastern Toowoomba. Three brothers were appointed and arrived in October 1955. The foundation stone for the school was laid on 15 December 1955. St Joseph's College opened in 1956 offering schooling from Year 4 to Year 12 with an initial enrolment of 116 boys. The official opening was held in September 1956 and was conducted by Bishop Brennan and James Duhig, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane. The Christian Brothers ceased operating the school in 1983. Other changes at that time was to phase out the primary school and make the school secondary only. The school also offered enrolment to girls. [12] [20]

In 1958, land was purchased for an Anglican church with an Anglican communion service being conducted on the site on 13 April 1958. The congregation bought the former Christadelphian Church in Herries Street, Toowoomba, and relocated it to the Rangeville site to use as a hall for both Sunday school and church services. By 1969, the congregation was able to undertake the construction of their first church, with St Mark the Evangelist's Anglican Church being opened and dedicated by Bishop John Hudson on Sunday 27 September 1970. Bishop Ralph Wicks performed the consecration on 29 August 1976. [21] [22]
