In the early 1860s 50 acres south of Moggill Road had been surveyed, sub-divided into house size lots and offered for sale. Marketed as the ‘West Milton’ Estate this name was also used in the western suburbs’ first postal contract secured by Alfred Roberts who ran a horse drawn omnibus to Brisbane. The opening of the railway in the 1870s spurred the building of homes and a number of businesses opened along the crest of Moggill Road. Something of a way stop this included a blacksmith, pub and grocery stores. In due course these would be joined by a school, places of worship, doctors surgery and private hospital, pharmacy, bakery, butchers, picture theatre, a masonic lodge and later service stations. The shopping and services strip became the centre of ‘village’ life, the hub of the local community. Importantly Taringa became the administration centre for local government when these authorities were formed by legislation in the late 1870s. The office for the Indooroopilly Divisional Board was built in the Moggill/Morrow Road split and subsequently extended to meet the needs of the Taringa Divisional Board, then the Taringa Shire Council as the local authority boundaries were progressively adjusted to reflect closer settlement in the inner suburbs.
