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.
