The former suburb of ''Meeandah'' took its name from the now disused [[Meeandah railway station]] on the [[Pinkenba railway line|Pinkenbah railway line]], which in turn was named after a corruption of the Greek word ''[[meander]]'', and referred to Serpentine Creek which flowed through the area, but has subsequently been converted into a drain due to the development of [[Brisbane Airport]]. The name is often thought to be an Aboriginal word.<ref>{{Cite QPN|21503|Meeandah|railway station in the City of Brisbane|access-date=29 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite QPN|30420|Serpentine Creek|watercourse in City of Brisbane|access-date=29 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article25505625|title=SKETCHER.|date=11 April 1914|newspaper=[[The Queenslander]]|access-date=29 March 2020|location=Queensland, Australia|page=8|via=Trove|archive-date=26 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201226004748/https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/25505625|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1892, the opening of the Queensland Meat Export and Agency Company's meatworks in Pinkenba necessitated the establishment of a town where workers could live close to their work. On 15 October 1892, there was an auction of 40 allotments of land in the new town of Pinkenba. That land was bounded by the present-day streets of McBride Road to the west, Serpentine Road to the north, and Eagle Farm Road to the south-east ({{Coord|-27.4219|153.1197|type:city_region:AU-QLD|name=Town of Pinkenba estate}}).<ref>{{cite news|date=29 September 1892|title=Eagle Farm Meat Works.|page=5|newspaper=[[The Telegraph (Brisbane)|The Telegraph]] |issue=6,225|location=Queensland, Australia|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article174088547|via=National Library of Australia|accessdate=27 May 2021}}</ref>
