Renamed Places in Queensland

Anyone doing local or family history knows the frustration of finding a town or street name or building name that just doesn't appear on a current map. This WWW page is intended to help find out the location and/or new name for those old/forgotten places in Queensland.

The list is sorted alphabetically by the old name or use the Find function in your browser (usually CTRL-F) if that's faster or you are looking for a new name.

The information provided here is on a "best efforts" basis. Please read the notes and sources and check the map link in order to satisfy yourself that this is the location you are looking for. Where possible, I try to include online access to sources and maps I refer to, but in some cases I cannot do so for reasons such as copyright.

Please send me any updates/corrections to kerry.raymond@gmail.com Even if you don't know the full story of the name change, many researchers would welcome any clue to track down those elusive places.

Also send old placenames even if you don't know the new place name. Please send as much information as you can about how you came upon the placename as that may contain vital clues. I can add them to the WWW page and someone out there may be able to provide the new name if I can't track it down.

Just a note on sources. I try to provide online sources wherever possible, but unfortunately some web pages move or disappear over time. Please let me know if you find a broken link. Often I can find the new online location or provide access to the old page via the Internet Archive. Unfortunately the Internet Archive usually only saves the text from old web pages and not the images, so if I must now point you at the Internet Archive, please expect that the page you will reach will probably look at bit messy but it's the best I can provide for you.
