History
The origin of the suburb is from a former Script error: No such module "convert". 1860s cotton plantation which was originally spelt as 'Yamahanto', the property jointly owned by Queensland's first government medical officer Henry Challinor (1814–1882) and his cousin George Miles Challinor (1832–1888).[3][4] Previous names used for this area were Mine Accident, Loamside and Yahmahnto. The names were given to the railway station in the Yamanto area on the now-defunct Dugandan railway line.[2][5]
Since 1847, Darby McGrath had operated private schools in and around Ipswich. In 1861, he arranged for the Queensland Government to take over his school at Warrill Creek and provided land in Green Lane for a new school building.[6][7][8] Warrill Creek State School opened on 22 May 1862.[9][10] In 1888, the school moved to a new location at Sandridge,[11] which was flooded in 1893. In 1903, the school was renamed Amberley State School. During World War II, the school was too close to the Amberley air force base and was closed in 1942, re-opening in 1947. In the late 1970s, the school was relocated to Rosewood Road further from the air base due to concerns about aircraft noise with a new school building opened in 1982. Due to expansion of the air base, the school was relocated to Yamanto and opened in 2010 under the new name of Amberley District State School.[12][13]
In 2015 this suburb is seeing a growth corridor being developed in the adjacent Ripley Valley Ripley, Queensland called Ecco Ripley. In conjunction with the expansion of the nearby RAAF Base Amberley the suburb is experiencing an influx of businesses as well as redevelopment of existing businesses.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
