Coopers Plains Greeting Card

Originally called Cowper's Plains, the area was named after Dr. Henry Cowper, who was the Assistant Surgeon-in-Charge at the Moreton Bay Penal Settlement from 1823 to 1832. A convict settlement was established in the area in 1828, and the name was later corrupted to Cooper's Plains and then Coopers Plains. The first post office opened in 1876, and the Coopers Plains railway station on the South Coast railway line (now the Beenleigh line) opened in 1885. The area remained rural until the 1940s, when the United States Army built a barracks adjacent to the railway station, which later became the Australian Army's Damour Barracks. The document also mentions the development of several estates in the area, such as Flemington Estate, Orange Grove Estate, and Homebush Estate, which were advertised for sale in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
