Redcliffe was Queensland's first settlement city. Prior to the Europeans settling here in 1824 the area was inhabited by the Aborigines. This was followed in 1824 by the settlement of Redcliffe by the early Europeans. As Redcliffe was situated on the edge of Moreton Bay it was considered to be the best location for a new northern penal settlement.
In the 1880s Redcliffe experienced a land boom and was rapidly gaining the reputation as a seaside resort town similar to other holiday destinations back in England. Subsequently an increasing number of people were attracted to Redcliffe to enjoy its safe, sheltered sandy beaches.
Improvement in local roads and then finally the construction of the 2.8 km Hornibrook Bridge, which officially opened in 1935, allowed increasing volumes of people experience what Redcliffe had to offer. Now with the new bridge, Redcliffe was no longer considered isolated and resulted a continuing population boom.
