Kedron is a northern suburb of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia, centred on Gympie Road and Kedron Brook. It is close to Westfield Chermside shopping centre in the neighboring suburb of Chermside. Kedron is regarded as a northern-inner city suburb that is situated around the suburbs of Stafford, Chermside, Wavell Heights, Wooloowin, Grange, and Alderley. It has a population of approximately 11,000.
In 1904, Part of Kedron, Lutywyche and Wooloowin were incorporated into the Town of Windsor.
In 1913, the Presbyterian Church was established and gained full church status in 1945.
In 1923 the Catholic Church was established and in 1925 the Methodic Church was established. First services were held in the Wintergarden Theatre.
In 1914, the tram service was extended from Windsor to the Kedron Park Hotel. It was further extended to the Lutwyche Cemetery in 1925.
In October 1926, the Kedron State School was established. In 1956 Padua College, Mt Alvernia College and Kedron State High School were also established.
The Kedron Park was set aside along Kedron Brook, adjacent to the Kedron Park Hotel.
It once contained the Kedron Park Racecourse. In 1888 shares were offered in the Kedron Park Racecourse and Sports Ground Co. Ltd. A formal race program was held in 1889 but saw little use in the following years. It changed many hands before it was finally closed in 1931 following a Royal Commission into racing. In 1955, Kedron Park was resumed for educational building purposes. The Kedron Park Teachers College, then Queensland University of Technology, and now Queensland Emergency Services have occupied the site.
A notable landmark is the War Memorial in Kedron Cemetery on Gympie Road.
It contains more than 100 gravestones of servicemen whom the majority gave their life for in World War 2.
