Milton, Queensland
Milton is a riverside inner suburb of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Milton had a population of 3,144 people.
Milton is 2.9 kilometres (1.8 mi) by road west of the Brisbane CBD. The suburb is a mixture of light industry, warehouses, commercial offices, retail and single and multiple occupancy residences. The main roads are Milton Road, which runs beside the main western rail line and Coronation Drive (formerly River Road), which runs along the Brisbane River.
Settlement in the Milton area by Europeans began in the 1840s, with land mostly used for farming and grazing.
The suburb's name was derived from the farm name "Milton Farm", used from the late 1840s by Ambrose Eldridge, chemist. Eldridge named the farm after John Milton, the English poet.
Circa 1862, the Anglican Church established a mortuary chapel for the North Brisbane Burial Ground (now Lang Park). It was demolished in 1891.
Christ Church Anglican was dedicated in 1876. It was re-built and re-dedicated in 1891.
In 1878, 68 allotments were advertised to be auctioned by John Cameron on Monday, 27 May 1878. This area was called the "Milton Estate" and was subdivisions of portion 14 in the parish of Enoggera. The allotments were situated across the road from the Milton railway station. It was reported in The Brisbane Courier that 44 of the 68 allotments were sold at the auction for between £11 and £39.
In 1879, 98 allotments were advertised to be auctioned by J.B. Ellis & Co on Monday, 24 February 1879. This area was called the "Bayswater Estate" and was subdivision of portions 228 and 229 in the parish of Enoggera.
