Ipswich is a city and Local Government Area situated on the Bremer River in South East Queensland, Australia. It is located approximately 30 kilometres south-west of the state capital, Brisbane. The area was first explored by European colonists in 1826, when Captain Patrick Logan, commandant of the Moreton Bay penal colony, sailed up the Brisbane river and discovered large deposits of limestone and other minerals. In 1827, the first convicts and overseers arrived to mine the area, and the town that built around this industry became known as Limestone, and is remembered by one of the main streets through the Ipswich city centre.

In 1843, the settlement officially became known as Ipswich, making Ipswich the oldest provincial city in Queensland. The name change was proposed by surveyor Henry Wade and approved by Sir George Gipps, a soldier and Governor of New South Wales. Mining of coal and other valuable minerals continued well into the 20th century. Ipswich has suffered somewhat from this establishment as a mining city, but recent efforts have made strides in improving its reputation.
