History
One Mile was known as Moopi Moopi Pa by the Quandamooka people.[3]
In 1943, after the closure of the Myora Mission, some of the residents were moved to One Mile; others went to Dunwich.[3]
The origin of the suburb name is from its approximate distance from the Ipswich CBD.[2] It was one mile from the centre of Ipswich to the crossing of the Bremer River on the road to Toowoomba (now the Old Toowoomba Road).[4] The bridge at this crossing was known as the One Mile Bridge until it was renamed the Don Livingstone One Mile Bridge in 2015 after Don Livingstone, a former Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the local area.[5]
