Geography

Stafford Heights is 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of the Brisbane central business district. Stafford Heights is generally hilly, and has one major waterway, Downfall Creek. Stafford Heights is north of Stafford.

History

Stafford Heights is named because it is on higher ground than its neighbouring Stafford. The Heights name was used locally as a neighbourhood name from the 1950s but it became a gazetted suburb in 1975. Stafford was a name adopted by local consent in 1885–1886, after Staffordshire in England.[4]

Stafford Heights State School opened on 3 April 1956.[5]

A small part of north-east Stafford Heights is part of Paramount Estate, a plan which involved naming the streets after the last names of actors at around the 1970s, but little evidence of this exists online. The majority of Paramount Estate lies in McDowall.
