History
In the late 1800s, the farming district located between the Pimpama River and the Logan River called Pimpama Island encompassed the modern localities of Jacobs Well, Norwell, Steiglitz and Woongoolba. It was referred to as an island because there were a number of lagoons and swamps that isolated the area during the wet season; however, this disadvantage made it good land for growing sugar cane.
