The area of Wavell Heights was originally known as West Nundah. In 1922 West Nundah consisted of approximately two houses, built along Edinburgh Castle Road. One was on the corner of Shaw Road and Edinburgh Castle Road. At the time the road was a dirt track leading to the Edinburgh Castle Hotel, which was the stopping place for the coach travelling along the Old Northern Road to Gympie with the mail. Next to the hotel was a leather goods business of A.S.Dewar and Sons, He lived in Power Street for many years. Many early families gave their names to Streets and Roads in the district. The Shaws lived in Shaw Park in a house across the road from the present day hockey field. The house was demolished in the war years. Other early families were the Pfingsts, Rohdes, Gohdes, Horsfalls, Westwoods and Rilatts. Rode Road was named after the Rohde family, but the spelling was changed.

In 1940 the Postmaster at Nundah decided the area was too large to handle, and it was decided to set up another suburb. It become necessary to find a name for the new suburb, and submissions were called for. Some of the suggested names were Inala, Gavin Hill and Wavell Heights. Wavell Heights was a popular choice polling 366 votes to Gavin Hills 218 votes. Field Marshall Wavell was contacted and gave permission for his name to be used. To inaugurate the new suburb a Patriotic Concert was held in the Imperial Theatre Nundah on Thursday 9 October 1941 in the presence of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Brisbane (Aldermand and Mrs J.B.Chandler).
