History
Hinchinbrook is quite a new suburb, having only been formed in 1986 from what was then the southern part of Green Valley and the northern part of Hoxton Park. Its name comes from Hinchinbrook Creek which runs through the suburb. The creek was named after a property in adjacent Cecil Hills which had belonged to former Supreme Court Judge Barron Field, who in turn had named the property after the English estate of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.
A Hinchinbrook Post Office was open from 1 August 1883 until 1885. (wikipedia)
