Graceville is a suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3] In the 2021 census, Graceville had a population of 4,764 people.[1]
Geography
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Real_estate_map_of_The_Graceville_Estate%2C_ca._1888_%2826305569992%29.jpg/220px-Real_estate_map_of_The_Graceville_Estate%2C_ca._1888_%2826305569992%29.jpg)
Graceville is located 7.8 kilometres (4.8 mi) south-west of the Brisbane CBD, and is bordered by the Brisbane River to the North-East and West, Oxley Creek to the East, Chelmer to the North and Sherwood to the South.
The suburb is centred on Graceville railway station (27°31′14″S 152°58′33″E / 27.5206°S 152.9759°E) on the Ipswich railway line, and is predominantly residential, with houses generally being in the Queenslander style. The main roads in Graceville are Oxley Road, Graceville Avenue and Honour Avenue. The suburb also has a number of parks including Simpson's Playground, Graceville Memorial Park, and Faulkner Park.
History
[edit]A Baptist chapel opened near the junction of Oxley Creek and the Brisbane River on Sunday 22 May 1864. It was on land donated by John and Thomas Strong (approx 27°31′27″S 152°59′37″E / 27.5242°S 152.9937°E).[4] The Oxley Creek chapel was also used by other denominations, particularly the Presbyterians. It is unclear when the chapel closed but it is no longer extant.[5]

The suburb takes its name from its railway station, which in turn was named on 4 February 1875 by the Queensland Railways Department after Grace Grimes, the daughter of Samuel Grimes.[3][6]
In 1879, the local government area of Yeerongpilly Division was created. In 1891, parts of Yeerongpilly Division were excised to create Sherwood Division becoming a Shire in 1903 which contained the suburb of Graceville. In 1925, the Shire of Sherwood was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.[7]
In December 1887, allotments in re-subdivisions 1 to 227 of subdivision 2 of portion 17, County of Stanley, Parish of Oxley, of "Graceville Park Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by R.J. Cottell, Auctioneer. A map advertising the auction states the estate includes Park Road, White Street, and Alfred Street.[8] The classified advertisement for the auction states the estate is "only a stone's throw from the Railway Station and "is a splendid piece of ground, with a gentle slope to the river."[9]
In December 1911, 207 allotments of the "Graceville Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by Currie, Buchanan & Co. Ltd. Auctioneers. A map advertising the auction states that the estate was "situated within easy walking distance of Graceville Railway Station".[10] The classified advertisement for the auction states the estate had "Cool, invigorating breeze, every allotment ready to build on, right aspect, abundance of fresh air, charming views, exclusive neighbourhood."[11]
On 24 April 1926, the "Memorial Park Estate" was advertised by Realty Development Co. Ltd. The advertisements in the Telegraph included a "catch-phrase" competition with first prize being a block of land in the Memorial Park Estate.[12]
In June 1926, 43 allotments of the "Greenfield Estate" were advertised to be auctioned by Charlton, Elliot and Sons. A map advertising the auction states that the estate was "within easy walking distance of Graceville Station".[13] The classified advertisement for the auction states the estate was in "easy walking distance to station, good train service, water and electric light".[14]
Graceville Baptist Church opened on Saturday 22 January 1927.[15][16][17][18] The building was 31 by 21 feet (9.4 by 6.4 m) in size and could seat 100 people.[19]

Graceville State School opened on 13 August 1928.[20]
