Coorparoo is a suburb in Brisbane, it's location can be found right around the suburbs of Camp Hill, Holland Park, Stones Corner, Greenslopes, East Brisbane, and Norman Park.

The name Coorparoo is said to be agreed upon on a meeting back in 1875. Early surveyors allegedly recorded the area as Koolpuroom, the Aboriginal name for Norman Creek. History is not clear whether the name Coorparoo has something to do with mosquitos, or it is derived from the sound made by a spotted dove. Nevertheless, the name Coorparoo got stuck, and it seems like more than 16,000 people living in the suburb are okay with it.

There is, however, an Aboriginal history about Coorparoo that seems to sound more soundly than the others, it tells of the Coorparoo Clan camping along creeks. There were reports of the Aborigines raiding produce back in 1846, and a fight between various territories in 1853 that ultimately defined the settlements of nearby places including that of Coorparoo.

The following years saw investors flocking into the area and buying lands to create residential spaces. In 1876, public transport came in the form of wagonettes offered by Frederick Robinson. More and more subdivisions were opened for the public, and the real estate landscape in Coorparoo literally changed since then.

The Coorparoo of today continues to develop, with the demolition of the old Myer Department Store came three residential towers with commercial spaces on the ground floors. Coorparoo Square was established in 2017 that has a Dendy Cinema, Aldi Supermarket, and many retail and coffee shops.

The homes in Coorparoo are very different from what they looked like in the late 1800s, but is still inhabited by some of the nicest people in Brisbane.
