Moggill is located in the Parish of Moggill within the County of Stanley, Queensland. The Brisbane River and Moggill Creek were rich in resources and evidence of Aboriginal occupation includes Bora grounds near the Moggill Pony Club and O'Brien Road, another Bora ring is located near Kangaroo Gully Road.

John Oxley the first European visitor, named it Termination Plains when he landed in the Priors Pocket area. In 1848 a profitable coal mine owned by John Williams commenced operation. The first survey of Moggill was in 1851, with a township planned in the vicinity of Weekes Rd, however it was later established near the present school. A cemetery was established in 1865. The Moggill State School opened a year later starting as a two-room schoolhouse and remaining that way until 1970 when the population of the area started expanding rapidly.
