Chermside West shares its origin story with neighbouring Chermside, both once part of the district known as Downfall Creek, surveyed by Edgar Huxtable in 1864 and settled by small farmers living in slab huts through the late 1800s, including a German community established near the corner of Hamilton and Webster Roads. The name changed to Chermside in 1903, honouring the incoming Governor of Queensland, Sir Herbert Chermside, at the urging of local teacher James Youatt who felt the district needed a more appealing name than Downfall Creek.
Chermside West's own character emerged in the mid-1950s, when the first of several new housing estates opened on former small-farm and tannery land, culminating in a Jennings estate built on an old tannery site in 1973. A 1969 newspaper report noted the area's popular nickname of the time: 'Nappy Valley', a fitting description for a suburb rapidly filling with young families. Craigslea (Chermside West) Primary School opened in 1972 to ease pressure on nearby Aspley and Chermside schools, with Craigslea State High School following in 1975, and Chermside West was formally gazetted as its own suburb in 1975.
