About St Lucia

St Lucia is an exclusive inner suburb of Brisbane, Australia 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southwest of the Brisbane CBD. The suburb is bordered on three sides by the Brisbane River and is dominated by the main campus of the University of Queensland. Sugar plantations were established in the area in the 1860s. The suburb derives its name from William Alexander Wilson, who purchased and subdivided one of the plantations for housing in the 1880s.

Wilson, born in St Lucia in the West Indies, named the housing estate St Lucia because the cane plantations in the area reminded him of those in his country of birth. St Lucia is a green, leafy suburb with a variety of housing including apartment complexes and detached Federation styles and Queenslanders.
