Woodhill

History

Woodhill evolved from the Townsvale plantation, which was established in 1862; Woodhill was the property name of the Ferguson Family. Woodhill railway station () was on the disused Beaudesert railway line from Bethania to Beaudesert. The line opened on 16 May 1888. The suburb was officially named and bounded on 24 April 1997. Formerly in the Shire of Beaudesert, Woodhill became part of Logan City following the local government amalgamations in March 2008.

Geography

The Logan River forms the western boundary. The Mount Lindesay Highway enters the locality from the north-east (Cedar Grove / Cedar Vale) and exits to the south (Veresdale).
