History edit
Monarch Glen is situated in the Bundjalung traditional Indigenous Australian country.[4] [5] The origin of the suburb name is from the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), which is found locally.[2] It was approved and designated as a locality within the Logan City by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines on 20 May 2016.[2][6] The redistribution of the state’s electoral boundaries in 2017 led to the suburb being part of the Jordan electoral district.[7]
