Ashmore is a suburb in the city of Gold Coast, Queensland. It has a relatively small population that has been growing over the last few years. Currently, Ashmore has a little over12,000 residents if we are to go by the data of the last population census.

This town has a long history. In 1887, it was called Ashmore and Benowa, comprising 5 subdivisions, a Nerang River plantation, and Benowa Estate. Land in the area was advertised and auctioned for sale by James R. Dickson. Part of the properties included in the sale were buildings and a sugar manufacturing plant.

Then in the 1970s, a property investor from Sydney by the name of Jim Donnellon bought and developed a housing estate in the area called the Ashmore Village. Subsequently, the Ashmore Plaza Centre was developed by the end of the 70s.

The development of Ashmore Village eventually spurred economic and infrastructural growth in the area, so much so that a school called Ashmore State School was established on the 23rd of January 1978. A few years later, the Trinity Lutheran Primary School was opened on the 27th of January 1981 in Cotlew 

As time went on, the area got its permanent Ashmore name on the 1st of December, 1982.
