Brightview was originally named Tarampa Flats and then Lobethal. It is thought the present name was the name of a pastoral property owned by Ernest Christian Frederick Beutel.[1] Due to the number of local areas which had "Tarampa" as part of their place name, local residents met in February 1906 to propose that their area had a new name and submitted a list of proposed new names to the Education department and the postal authorities.[3] The name Brightview as the local place name is in use from at least July 1906.[4]
Tarampa Flat Provisional School opened on 25 November 1902, being renamed Brightview Provisional School in 1906. It became Brightview State School on 1 January 1909. A new school building was erected in 1935.[5] It closed on 11 May 1962. It was at 1060 Brightview Road .[6] [7] [8]
By 1911, an Apostolic congregation was already meeting in Tarampa Flats.[9] In 1914, the Brightview Apostolic Church was erected.[10] [11]
