Geography

West End is situated at the base of Castle Hill (the hill).

History

The first community cemetery is located in West End. A reflection of attitudes existing during the time it was in use, research has established that it was ethnically segregated. It has been reported that there are separate areas where, at least, Chinese and Aboriginal deceased were interred.

During World War 2, the massive Green Street bunker was used by the RAAF. It is now the State Emergency Service building.

Townsville West State School opened on 21 March 1887 and celebrated its centenary in 1987.[3][4] Townsville West Special School opened on 29 September 1958 and closed on 21 December 1992.[4]
