Although locally known by this name since the 1950s, it wasn't until 1 September 1980 that it was formally decreed. The name Mango Hill was chosen to commemorate the section of Mango trees that were planted along the 700 metre section of Anzac Avenue that passes through the area. In March 2006, the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water subdivided the northern section of Mango Hill to form the suburb of North Lakes. Although now separated, the area still reaps the benefits of the major infrastructure and retail upgrades that have taken place in North Lakes in recent years, including the Moreton Bay Rail Link and shopping outlets such as Costco and IKEA. This has resulted in a significant boost to economic growth in the Moreton Bay Region. North Lakes State College opened on 1 January 2002. The Lakes College opened on 24 January 2005. Mango Hill State School opened on 1 January 2012. In the, Mango Hill had a population of 8,434 people. Mango Hill State Secondary College opened on 1 January 2020.
Heritage listing
On 5 February 2009, Anzac Avenue was awarded heritage listed status. The memorial site is a tribute to soldiers lost in World War I and has been in various stages of development since 1925. The section of Anzac Avenue that passes through Mango Hill, also shares this prestigious status and is synonymous with the suburb.
