History

The locality is named after the creek with that forms part of the catchment area of Lake Samsonvale, one of the three main water-suppliers to the metropolitan region.

Kobble Creek was, in years gone by, predominantly a dairy farming community with some banana and pineapple farming on surrounding hillsides. As a farming community, Kobble Creek supported a butter factory, primary school, and railway station, the latter two located near the site of the current Samsonvale Rural Fire Brigade. Following the forced resumption of much of the best farming land in the district to build the North Pine Dam and flood Lake Samsonvale, today the district is predominantly a rural-dormitory zone with very limited farming undertaken.

Kobble Creek Provisional School opened circa 1881. On 1 January 1909 it became Kobble Creek State School. It closed in 1954.In 1919 the Dayboro railway line reached Kobble Creek with the Kobble railway station opening on 3 November 1919; the line reached its terminus at Dayboro railway station on 25 September 1920.Kobble Creek was officially named and bounded as a locality on June 2009, but was formerly part of the Samsonvale district.
