History

Ellen Grove was subdivided for housing around 1959, with the name of the suburb gazetted in 1962 due to lobbying from the Ellen Grove Progress Association. The subdivision were between 2 to 4 acres (0.81 to 1.62 ha) in area with no services provided.

The owner of the original land was R.P. Spinks who had a daughter named Ellen Dabing.She often played with local Aboriginals in a grove of trees along Bullockhead Creek. The area became known as Ellen's Grove.

A portion of the suburb of Carole Park had since been annexed to form part of the suburb of Ellen Grove as part of a Brisbane City Council and Ipswich City Council redistribution assignment, and in 2009, the suburb was extended both to the north and south, increasing the population significantly.In the 2016 census Ellen Grove had a population of 2,906 people.
