History
Norman Park began taking in the first settlers in
1853. Initially, development in Norman Park was slow and almost ceased after the
1893 floods. Industries in Norman Park at the time included dairying, leather and brooms.
Between 1912 and 1926 a steam tram service to
Belmont connected with the Queensland Government Railway at Norman Park. Initially the service was operated by the Belmont Shire Council. The service was suspended in 1924. The service was reinstated by the
Brisbane City Council in 1925, but was again suspended in 1926. In
2006 remnants of the tramway's
right of way could still be seen close to the railway station.
Shortly after
World War II, rapid development took place, including the adjacent suburb of
Seven Hills, and the land became totally residential. In the 1940s and 1950s, extensive reclaiming of land in the low-lying areas created parks and playing fields.
