History
{{main|Caboolture, Queensland#History|Elimbah, Queensland#History|Beerburrum, Queensland#History|Bruce Highway#Upgrades}}
The Caboolture area was colonised by European people in 1842 when the land around the Moreton Bay penal colony was opened up to free settlers. By the mid-1860s farms had been established and the local pastoralists were experimenting with sugar cane and cotton.{{cite web |url=https://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/caboolture-qld |title=Caboolture, Queensland |publisher=Aussie Towns |date=2021 |access-date=8 October 2022}}
Elimbah was first settled by Europeans as a resting place on the road to {{QLDcity|Gympie}} for horses and bullocks, known as The Six Mile. In 1890 it became a railway siding known by its position on the line rather than a name, and in 1902 it was officially named Elimbah.{{Cite web|title=Elimbah history|url=https://www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/libraries/Borrow-Discover/History-and-Heritage/Moreton-Bay-History/Caboolture-Then-and-Now/Elimbah-History|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-30|website=Moreton Bay City Council|language=en-AU|archive-date=4 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210504165344/https://www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/libraries/Borrow-Discover/History-and-Heritage/Moreton-Bay-History/Caboolture-Then-and-Now/Elimbah-History}}
Some European settlement in what is now the locality of Beerburrum had occurred from 1861,{{Cite web|url=https://heritage.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Collections/Sunshine-Coast-Timeline|title=Sunshine Coast timeline|publisher=Sunshine Coast Regional Council|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190421134640/https://heritage.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/Collections/Sunshine-Coast-Timeline|archive-date=21 April 2019|url-status=live|access-date=21 April 2019}} but it was not until 1890 when the railway arrived that the area became accessible for new settlers.{{Cite book|title=Triumph of narrow gauge : a history of Queensland Railways|author1=Kerr|first=John|publisher=Boolarong Publications|isbn=978-0-86439-102-5|date=1990|pages=84}} In 1916, Beerburrum was chosen to be a soldier settlement with over 550 farms allocated. Beerburrum Soldier Settlement was the largest soldier settlement in Queensland.{{cite web|title=Beerburrum|url=http://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/beerburrum|work=Queensland Places|publisher=Centre for the Government of Queensland, University of Queensland|access-date=28 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140329044725/http://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/beerburrum|archive-date=29 March 2014|url-status=live}}
This road was part of the Bruce Highway when it was declared in 1934,{{cite web |url=https://www.expressway.online/gallery/roads/qld/numbered/decommissioned/nationalhighways/nh1/index.html |title=Bruce Highway |publisher=Expressway |date=2021 |access-date=10 October 2022}} and remained so until August 1970, when the Caboolture Bypass Stage 2 was completed between Bribie Island Road and Red Road.Department of Main Roads Annual Report 1970-1971
