Coorparoo was chosen as the name of the suburb at a public meeting on 22 March 1875, before which it was known as Four Mile Camp.{{cite QPN|47603|Coorparoo|access-date=19 January 2014}}{{cite web|title=Local History – Coorparoo|url=http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2006/08/18/1718006.htm|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|access-date=31 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203065601/http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2006/08/18/1718006.htm|archive-date=3 February 2014|url-status=live}} The name Coorparoo is likely derived from an Aboriginal name for Norman Creek, probably recorded by early surveyors as Koolpuroom.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article23381618 |title=From the News of 60 Years Ago. |newspaper=The Queenslander |location=Brisbane, Qld. |date=27 February 1936 |access-date=13 September 2011 |page=51 |publisher=National Library of Australia |archive-date=12 September 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210912054627/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/23381618 |url-status=live }} The word is thought to refer to either a place associated with mosquitoes, or a sound made by the 'gentle dove'. The latter explanation appears doubtful though, as 'gentle dove' may mean the spotted dove, which was introduced to the area in 1912, long after the name Coorparoo was adopted.

The Coorparoo clan, an Aboriginal clan, lived south of the Brisbane River and generally camped along creeks. Their name comes from Kulpurum, which was the word for Norman Creek or a tributary of it. They continued to occupy watercourse campsites after white settlement, but other clans from the region began to move into South Brisbane.

In 1846, there were reports of Aboriginal people raiding produce along Norman Creek. In 1853, there was a fight between Ningy Ningy, Bribie Island (Djindubari), Amity Point, and Logan peoples at Norman Creek. A visitor in 1855 reported many camps and fishing spots between Stones Corner and the mouth of Norman Creek. In 1959, an eighty-year-old woman told of frequent corroborees on the banks of the creek in Norman Park. Corroborees were also held at a little creek that crossed Norfolk Street.{{Cite web|url = http://www.remaxexecutivesqld.com/coorparoo.htm|title = Coorparoo|publisher = RE/MAX|access-date = 31 January 2014|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140201221834/http://www.remaxexecutivesqld.com/coorparoo.htm|archive-date = 1 February 2014}}

On 17 June 1856, ten farms were sold from the Parish of Bulimba near Stones Corner. Investors bought all but two of them. The next year James Warner surveyed land on the other side of the road for a second land auction.{{cn|date=June 2023}}

Samuel Stevens donated two acres of his property near the junction of Cavendish and Old Cleveland Roads for use of a school. He declined the offer of naming the area "Steven's Town".

In 1876, the Coorparoo State School was opened and Frederick Robinson began offering public transport in a wagonette from Coorparoo Junction to Victoria Bridge. The 1880s land boom was a spur to profit from land. John Black was the first to subdivide land in the area in 1882 and later a variety of subdivisions were offered to the public. The construction of the bridge at Stanley Street (1886) and the development of the Stanley Bridge Estate made the area more attractive to purchasers. In 1887, the tramway was extended to Buranda, putting the western end of Coorparoo close to tram travel.

Coorparoo had been part of the Bulimba Divisional Board since 1879. However, in 1888, as a result of dissatisfaction with this situation, a petition was taken resulting in the creation of Shire of Coorparoo. A bridge was built at Burnetts Swamp (Stones Corner) and important road improvements took place. Development was taking off. In 1889, there were 2,500 people in the shire.

The floods of 1889 and 1893 hit the low-lying areas of Coorparoo. The flooding combined with the 1890s depression slowed development in the area. In 1900, there were actually fewer houses than there had been ten years earlier. The settlement was dense from Stones Corner to Kirkland Avenue (originally named Wecker Street but it was changed in 1914 in the wake of anti-German sentiment), but further out it was mainly bush with a few isolated farms and houses. The only major industry was the brickworks of Abraham James at St Leonards Street, which employed eighty men in the 1880s.
