History

Jimboomba Timber Reserve Provisional School opened circa 1899. In 1906 it was renamed Martindale Provisional School. On 1 January 1909 it became Martindale State School. It was in the area of Gittins Road (now in Riverbend, approx 27.8340°S 152.9541°E / -27.8340; 152.9541 (Martindale State School)).[2] It closed in 1922.[3] The school building was then relocated to Cedar Grove, where it opened as Cedar Grove State School in 1923. It closed in 1965.[4]

Riverbend was approved and designated as a locality within Logan City by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines in September 2017.[5] It was excised from land formerly in Jimboomba.[1]
