Fordsdale is a rural locality in the Lockyer Valley Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Fordsdale had a population of 50 people.[1]

Geography

The terrain in the area is rugged. Lower areas along the creeks have been farmed while the steep and elevated parts remain vegetated. Silky Oak Creek joins Ma Ma Creek, a tributary of Lockyer Creek at Fordsdale. Dwyers Scrub Regional Park has been established in the west.

The Gatton–Clifton Road runs through from north-east to south. [3]

History

The locality is said to be named after William Thomas Ford, a farmer of Mount Whitestone, who carried the mail from Grantham to Mount Whitestone run from 1896.[2][4]

Ma Ma Creek Upper Provisional School opened on 8 July 1895 with Mr H. C. Tronc as headmaster. In 1906, it was renamed Fordsdale Provisional School. On 1 January 1909, it became Fordsdale State School. In April 1929, it was closed but reopened in 1931.[5] It was at 1902 Gatton Clifton Road (27°42′29″S 152°07′43″E / 27.7081°S 152.1285°E / -27.7081; 152.1285 (Fordsdale State School (former))).[6][7]

Fordsdale School of Arts was officially opened on 27 May 1932 by Councillor Byrne, chairman of the Tarampa Shire Council.[8][9]

In 1933, the school closed again. It reopened in 1937 with Miss E. G. M. Allen as head teacher with classes being held in the School of Arts as it was thought to be a more central location. As attendance at the new location was successfully maintained, it was decided to build a new school building on a site near the hall donated by Mr W. Bynon.[10] The new school was officially opened on Saturday 3 June 1939 by the Leader of the Opposition, Ted Maher.[11][12] The school closed in 1967.[5] It was at approx 2085 Gatton Clifton Road (27°43′12″S 152°07′16″E / 27.7199°S 152.1211°E / -27.7199; 152.1211 (Fordsdale State School (former))).[13][7]
