Originally called Happy Valley, Stafford was renamed in the late 1880’s in acknowledgement of the English county of Staffordshire.

It is home to a significant number of post war houses and boasts original Queenslander style residences on large allotments. Only 8km from Brisbane CBD with great infrastructure, you will not be disappointed when purchasing here. Despite humble beginnings Stafford is now home to a large population under the age of 45, attracted by the quality of properties without the huge price tags.

Stafford History

Population growth was low until the late 1800’s, this changed when many of the local tanneries began to close. Improved roads and bridges were built, making access to the area easier. Early days saw it labelled an industrial suburb but it was also home to local Chinese market gardens during the 1850’s.

Significant development occurred during the post-war years, including multiple public housing constructions. The closure of Gibson’s Tannery made way for the Stafford Shopping Centre in 1982.
