Geography
Harristown is located to the southwest of the Toowoomba city centre.
History
The locality is named after George Harris (1831–1891), a Brisbane businessman and Member of the Queensland Legislative Council.[1]
Originally in the Shire of Drayton, the locality was first opened as the Harristown Estate in 1902. The estate consisted of 177 building sites ranging from Шаблон:Convert.[3][4][5][6] Forty blocks were sold at the auction.[7]
Harristown State School opened on 4 September 1911 with 67 students.[8][9][10] The official opening on Saturday 30 September 1911 was performed by the acting Secretary for Education Kenneth Grant, by which time the enrolment had already increased to 84 students.[11]
From 1915 until 1993, the suburb had a functioning railway station on the Toowoomba–Wyreema line.[3]
After World War II, the area boomed.[3]
Although the need for Lutheran schooling in Toowoomba had been identified since 1926, the Great Depression followed by World War II prevented a school being established. Concordia Lutheran College opened on 17 February 1946 in the (now heritage-listed) house Redlands on a Шаблон:Convert site in Stephens Street with 27 students (23 of them being boarders). In 1964 a primary school campus opened nearby in Warwick Street with an initial 64 students. A second primary school campus (originally called Martin Luther Primary School) was established in 1977 in Hume Street, Centenary Heights.[8][12][13]
St Anthony's Catholic Primary School was established in 1954 by the Presentation Sisters. The foundation stone was laid on 21 November 1954, which is a significant day for the sisters as their order celebrates the Feast of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple on 21 November each year. The first classroom was ready in February 1955 and by the end of 1955 there were 116 students enrolled. The Presentation Sisters ran the school until the first lay principal was appointed in 1985, although the sisters continued to teach in the school until the end of 1997.[8][14]
Harristown State High School opened on 24 January 1955.[8]
