The creek Priest's Gully was named during surveys in the early 1860s but the origin of the name is unclear.[5] In 1912 there was a pastoral property called Priestdale of 1,861 acres (753 ha) on the western branch of Tingalpa Creek.[6] In 1916 there was a subdivision called Priestdale Lagoons which created 50 farms of 20 to 40 acres (8.1 to 16.2 ha), advertised as having good timber and ideal for farming fruit, such as pineapples, bananas, pawpaw and custard apples.[7]

On 31 March 1979, the area was officially named and bounded as a locality by the Queensland Place Names Board. It was redesignated a suburb on 31 August 1991.[2]

In 1992, the Chung Tian Temple (translation Middle Heaven) was built in traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture. The location was chosen for its natural bushland setting.[8]
