Wilston is 5km north of Brisbane city and was once occupied by the Aboriginal Turrbal clan. The suburb was first regarded as an outlying district of Newmarket and was named after Wilston House (c1876) in Watson Street, Newmarket, the home built by the Honourable William Wilson MLC, who settled in the district in 1868.
