However, it was officially named by the Queensland Place Names Board and took its name from the lake constructed by the development project. The western part of the original landholdings was part of the Wolston Estate. It consisted of 54 farms on an area of 3000 acres and was offered for auction in 1901. The local government area of Yeerongpilly Division was created in 1879.
