Gleneagle is a ‘suburb’ of Beaudesert, immediately to its north. It was named after a farm (1860s) established by the cotton-grower, William Walker, a partner of Robert Towns, the pioneer of Townsville. It is on the Mount Lindsay Highway (Beaudesert Road) and the Logan River.

Gleneagle was a stopping place or station on the Bethania to Beaudesert railway (1888-1996). Its primary school was opened in 1891, about one km north of the Catholic cemetery. The post office directory for 1913 recorded 19 farmers at Gleneagle, along with a post office. The 1949 directory recorded 48 farmers, several of them classified as dairy farmers.

Gleneagle has a recent housing estate, a purpose-built reception centre (1996) and local shops. There is a sports reserve near the school, which has about 170 pupils. On the other (west) side of the highway there is an abattoir, and the western two-thirds of Gleneagle is rural.

The Logan River and the Mount Lindesay Highway pass through eastern parts of locality. Large sections of land are rural with some parts used for irrigated agriculture. A housing estate was established to the east of the highway. In the centre of Gleneagle is a large man-made dam called Lake Brabazon.

The locality takes its name from a cotton farm called Glen Eagles established in the 1860s by William Tutin Walker (1833-1920). Walker began as a manager on Townsvale established by Robert Towns who pioneered cotton growing in the Logan River valley. Townsvale was in the area of the present-day localities of Gleneagle and Veresdale. After Towns’ death, Walker took over Townsvale.
