History

The original Mogg-hill Road was a dirt track running from the convict settlement along the route known as Coronation Drive, through the village of Toowong and on to the ferry at Moggill. The track from Toowong to Moggil retained the name of Moggill Road. It was used by drays carrying timber to Patterson's sawmill which was initially located at Brookfield. Sometime during the 1890s the part of road along the Toowong Reach was renamed from Moggill Road to River Road.
