Samsonvale (Qld.)

DETAILS

NameSamsonvale (Qld.)Alternative nameSamson Vale (Qld.)DescriptionSamsonvale was originally occupied by the indigenous people, who named the area Tukuwompa.
Samsonvale began as a pastoral run established in 1845 by the Joyner family and the origin of the suburb name is from that pastoral run.
A little over one hundred years later, the district's farming families were forced from their farms, to allow for the construction of the North Pine Dam.
The construction of the North Pine Dam and the flooding of Lake Samsonvale in the 1970s caused the closure of many family farms along with the Presbyterian Church, community hall, and post office.
All that remains today at the site of the old village is a cemetery with much of the former Samsonvale underwater.
