Survey map of 2,240 acres of land owned by Henry Jordan, located between Tallebuggera [ie. Tallebudgera] Creek at Burleigh Heads and Currumbin Creek, Currumbin, encompasing the entire suburb of Palm Beach and part of Elanora. Henry Jordan (1818-1890), dentist, parliamentarian and public servant, was born on 19 November 1818 at Lincoln, England. He was persuaded by the Wesleyan Missionary Society to go to South Australia, and in February 1856 moved to Brisbane. Jordan joined Queensland's first board of education and served as a visiting chaplain at Brisbane Gaol. In 1868-71 Jordan represented East Moreton in the Legislative Assembly. In 1873 he failed to win election for Logan, but in 1875 became registrar-general and acted both as statistician and commissioner of the Real Property Act. For his work on the 1876 census he was elected an honorary member of the Statistical Society of London, and in 1883 and 1888 he won the assembly seat of South Brisbane. He was minister for lands and works in 1887-88, and died in 1890. (Information source: The Australian Dictionary of Biography. http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/jordan-henry-3871).
