History

Mount Beppo State School (now closed)

The district takes its name from the neighbouring mountain, whose name in turn is believed to be derived from the Yuggera word Script error: No such module "lang". meaning mountain. However, as Yuggera is not a local indigenous language, it may have been Europeans who introduced the name.[2]

The district was first settled in the early 1880s; the Granzein and Soden families were among the early pioneers.[4]

Mount Beppo State School opened on 4 September 1893. The chairman of the school was Henry Plantagenet Somerset. In 1929 the school had about 80 pupils. The school closed on 31 December 1972.[5][6] It was at 13 German Reserve Road (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).[7][8][9]

By 1929, there were two churches at Mount Beppo, the Lutheran church and the Apostolic church, both with associated cemeteries.[6]

The Lutheran Church was opened on 12 August 1888.[10] It was extended and re-dedicated in 1930.[11]

The first Apostolic Church services were held in 1883 in the home of Mr Carl Casper Meier and the church building was constructed about 1889, but in 1911 the building was relocated higher up the hill and extended. Further extensions occurred at part of the golden jubilee celebrations in 1934.[12][13] In 2014, only the Apostolic Church remains, but both cemeteries still exist.

The district was known for its brass band, which was established in 1898 and celebrated its golden jubilee in 1949.[6][14][15]

Caboonbah Undenominational Church is a union church. It was established by Henry Plantagenet Somerset and takes its name, "Caboonbah", from the Somerset family homestead, Caboonbah Homestead, nearby. The wooden structure was designed by Somerset's wife Katherine Rose Somerset, the daughter of David Cannon McConnell and Mary McConnel (nee McLeod) who founded the Cressbrook Homestead. The church was built by Lars Andersen. It opened in 1905 to serve the local farming community. It is located on Cressbrook-Caboonbah Road (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.).[16]
