}}Kirwan is a suburb in the City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia.[1] In the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Kirwan had a population of 21,418 people.[2]

Geography

Kirwan is a primarily residential suburb but includes some commercial property, primarily concentrated along Thuringowa Drive.[3]

History

The suburb of Kirwan was established in 1968 as the northernmost of a series of new suburbs along the western side of the Upper Ross River. It was officially named on 1 March 1969[1] and took its name from an early farming family in the region. Prior to suburban development, Kirwan had been farmed and had also been the site of air force activity during World War II.[4]

Kirwan State School opened in 1977[5] and Kirwan State High School[6] opened in 1979.[7] Ryan Catholic College, which serves both primary and secondary students, was also founded in 1979.[8] The Willows State School was established in the suburb in 1997.[9]
