Samsonvale is a locality within the Moreton Bay Region in Queensland, Australia. The district is dominated by Lake Samsonvale, the waters of North Pine Dam, one of the three main water-suppliers to the metropolitan region. Furthermore, Samsonvale sits below the highest peak in the area which is Mount Samson.

In terms of history, Samsonvale was occupied by the indigenous people, who named the area Tukuwompa. The locality also began as a pastoral run in 1845 predominately of the Joyner family, after whom a nearby suburb is named. The history of Samsonvale is, as it seems, one of the forced resumptions with three-quarters of the Joyner’s original pastoral run in the 1860s is taken from them.

In 2006, during a drought seeing water levels of Lake Samsonvale falling to unprecedented lows, archeological works were considered by the local council to preserve historic artifacts from flooded homesteads dating back to the 19th Century. However, in 2010 Lake Samsonvale was once again filled to capacity, covering the historical sites and much of the district’s best-farming land.
