Kingsholme is an affluent rural locality in the City of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
The locality was named by James Murtha circa 1869. Originally from County Cork, Ireland, he named his property, Kingsholme. Other notable pioneering families included the Thomson family (Alexander Thomson) who emigrated from Scotland in 1889.[5]
Historically, farming families grew bananas, sugar cane and arrowroot. Some supplemented their farm income with dairying or sawmilling. Today, many former farms have been sub divided.[5]
There are no schools in Kingsholme. The nearest primary schools are Ormeau State School and Norfolk Village Stae School in Ormeau and Cedar Creek State School in neighbouring Cedar Creek to the west. The nearest secondary school is Ormeau Woods State High School in Ormeau.[4]
