About Everton
Covering some north-western suburbs of Brisbane, the Everton electorate covers 48.3km2 and has an estimated residential population of 51 949 persons.
​
In the 1870's, Thomas McDowall owned a vineyard in the area and named the property Everton, most likely named after the inner north-eastern district of Everton in Liverpool, England.
​
The traditional inhabitants of the area are the Turrbal people and Old Northern Road was built on a Turrbal pathway leading to the triennial Bunya Feast of the neighbouring Wakka Wakka tribe.
​
The Everton electorate includes Everton Hills, Everton Park, Albany Creek, Eatons Hill and takes in part of Gaythorne, Enoggera, Mitchelton, Keperra, Arana Hills, Warner, Brendale, McDowall, Bridgeman Downs and Bunya.
