Sandgate 1853-1880

Initial European settlement was at Redcliffe before relocation to Brisbane in 1823. The first land sale in Brisbane was in 1842. By 1846, there were about 500 people in north Brisbane. Missionary activity at German Town (or Nundah) around 1850 led to later settlements at Zillmere. The Caboolture area also attracted settlers in 1840
