As part of the development of Townsville, sugar plantations were established at Hyde Park in 1866.
In 1918, Hyde Park was transferred from the Thuringowa Shire to the City of Townsville by a government decree.
Hermit Park State School opened on 16 June 1924. Hermit Park Infants State School was separated from it on 1 February 1955, but closed on 17 December 1993 and became part of the State School again.
St Margaret Mary’s Catholic Primary School was established in 1936 by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan. Bishop Terrence McGuire had purchased the Woodlands estate from the Cummins family to use as a convent for the sisters, which was called Saint Philomena’s. The need for secondary education for girls in the area led to the sisters establishing St Margaret Mary’s College, which was officially opened by Bishop Hugh Ryan on 22 February 1963 with an initial enrolment of 50 girls. The primary school closed on 11 December 1987, but the secondary college continues to operate.
