Geography
The southern boundary of the suburb is partially marked by the Logan Motorway. The Centenary Highway passes through the suburb from north to south.[4] The Richlands and Inala reservoirs were built in the suburb to increase water pressure for residents in the surrounding suburbs.[citation needed]
History
Ellen Grove was subdivided for housing around 1959, with the name of the suburb gazetted in 1962 due to lobbying from the Ellen Grove Progress Association.[5] The subdivision were between 2 and 4 acres (0.81 and 1.62 ha) in area with no services provided.
The owner of the original land was R.P. Spinks who had a daughter named Ellen Dabing. She often played with local Aboriginals in a grove of trees along Bullockhead Creek.[5] The area became known as Ellen's Grove.
A portion of the suburb of Carole Park had since been annexed to form part of the suburb of Ellen Grove as part of a Brisbane City Council and Ipswich City Council redistribution assignment,[6] and in 2009, the suburb was extended both to the north and south, increasing the population significantly.[5]
