Download coordinates as: Cannon Hill is a suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[6] Cannon Hill was originally inhabited by Aboriginal people but, after being accused of "intimidating" the settlers, they were "dispersed" by the Native Police and Brisbane Mounted Police in November 1861, around the time when British settlement began in the area.

[9] The suburb is most likely named after Cannon Hill House, a residence formerly located on Wynnum Road.

[14] In February 1917, the Cannon Hill Progress Association proposed that a School of Arts be established in the district and a campaign of fund raising commenced.

[19] The building was to be 70 by 40 feet (21 by 12 m) and to be used as a dancing and concert hall, gymnasium and reading and recreation room purposes.

[22] On Sunday 14 June 1925, Archbishop James Duhig blessed and laid the foundation stone of the new Catholic presbytery.

[24] Cannon Hill Presbyterian Church opened in 1930 with the financial assistance of William Robert Black.

[25][26] In 1931, Brisbane's sale yards for livestock were relocated from Newmarket to Cannon Hill adjacent to the abattoir.

Specifically the yards had been specially constructed to prevent the bruising of cattle and the meat could be produced more hygienically for both local consumption and export.

[27] Blessed Oliver Plunkett School opened in January 1947 with an initial enrolment of 90 students.

In December 1986 the involvement of the Presentation Sisters in the school ceased and a lay principal was appointed.

In 1994, a Cannon Hill paddock became one of the first places where Hendra virus was transmitted between bats and horses.

The infected mare was taken to a training complex, starting an outbreak that eventually killed horse trainer Vic Rail.

Cannon Hill railway station provides access to regular Queensland Rail City network services to the Brisbane CBD and Cleveland.
