Geography

History

McDowall State School was opened on 28 January 1975 with 36 students and six teachers. The school was named before the suburb was named. The school was named in honour of Colonel John McDowall, who was a distinguished early-settler of the area. As the population grew, the Brisbane City Council considered naming the suburb Annand after Colonel Frederick Annand. This was disapproved of by local residents, who wanted the suburb to be named after the newly-opened school. The name McDowall was therefore accepted for the area by the Place Names Board of Queensland in 1975.
