Peak Crossing is a rural village 20 km south of central Ipswich. It is west of Flinders Peak (675m) which is in the Scenic Rim, and was named after a crossing point on the Purga Creek. Peak Crossing is nine km west of Flinders Peak. Farm selections in the Peak Crossing district were taken up in the 1860s, and a primary school was opened in 1871. At first named Purga Creek, it was renamed Peak Mountain in about 1875 and Peak Crossing in the early 1920s. By the end of the 1870s Peak Crossing had a Congregational church, two stores and the Peak Mountain Hotel. In 1882 the railway to Harrisville was opened with a stop at Peak Crossing, and a Catholic church was built. There is a record of a Presbyterian church in the 1892 post office directory. The Catholic Church appears to have been the strongest faith in the district, with its adherents forming a Hibernian Society in 1881. Peak Crossing had an active farming community, and it continues in conjunction with rural/residential living and the Peak Views estate west of the village. There are a general store, the Peak Pub and the P-7 school with an enrolment of 209 pupils in 2013. Source: queenslandplaces.com.au/peak-crossing

According to Wikipedia, Purga Creek No 2 School opened on 4 September 1871.[8] It was renamed Peak Mountain State School before 1875. In the late 1920s it was renamed Peak Crossing State School.[

Originally inhabited by the Turrbal Aboriginal people, the area known as Enoggera was named from the misspelling of the Aboriginal word, Euoggera, meaning 'place of water' or 'place of breeze'. European settlement in the Enoggera area can be traced back to 1845. However, it was not until 1871 that the first school opened on Great Northern Road (now South Pine Road) to 26 students under the guidance of teacher, Mr John Chasely Towell. By the end of 1871, the average daily attendance at the school was 43 students. The school was a social pivot for the community—concerts, dances and meetings were held in the school building and the grounds used for Sunday School picnics. The original school building is now located at the Enoggera Memorial Hall. With the district population increasing rapidly and rising school enrolments, it was deemed necessary to construct a new school building. On 2 September, 1916, the new school opened on the current site, built to cater for 305 students. Source: enoggerass.eq.edu.au/OurSchool/History
