Village Settlements were agricultural towns established in Queensland during the 1880s as a means to attract settlers. In a bid to create a sense of community, these settlements consisted of a centralised village centre surround by 40 or 80 acre allotments. Settlers would be assigned two allotments: a lot within the village where they could establish a home, and a larger allotment for farming. The success of the scheme was largely influenced by the accessibility of the locations. The scheme was reportedly drafted by Sir Samuel Griffith.
