History & geography

History

The locality is named after Flaxton Hall Farm in the fens of Eastern England. From 1892 the land was cleared so bananas and citrus fruit could be farmed. Local residents began to lobby for a school in 1921 with Mr J. C. Dixon senior donating a parcel of land on the main range road with panoramic views to the coast. Having been advised that a state school built by the government would be unlikely, the residents decided to raise the funds locally to build a provisional school which could also be used as a public hall outside of school hours. A stump-capping ceremony was held on 8 October 1921. Flaxton Provisional School opened in February 1922. It closed in 1967. It was at 360-362 Flaxton Drive (). A fruit-packing shed which could process the district's entire harvest was opened 1931.
