the gold coast was originally known as the south coast (because it was south of brisbane). however, inflated prices for real estate and other goods and services led to the nickname of "gold coast" from 1950. south coast locals initially considered the name "gold coast" derogatory. however, soon the "gold coast" simply became a convenient way to refer to the holiday strip from southport to coolangatta. the town of south coast was formed through the amalgamation of town of coolangatta and town of southport along with the coastal areas (such as burleigh heads) from the shire of nerang on 17 june 1949 with the effect of having the present-day gold coast coastal strip as a single local government area. as the tourism industry grew into the 1950s, local businesses began to adopt the term "gold coast" in their names, and on 23 october 1958 the town of south coast was renamed town of gold coast. the area was proclaimed a city less than one year later on 16 may 1959. in 1995, the albert shire was amalgamated into the city of gold coast.

a common critique of the gold coast arps was that its members sought to garner greater financial and political gain for the african bourgeoisie and elites, rather than for the common people. part of this critique lay in a disjuncture between the espoused values of cultural nationalism by the gold coast arps that advocated a fight for the indigenous peoples given the connection that the gold coast arps had with the british colonial government. specifically, many of the members of the gold coast arps had been educated abroad and were part of the elite class that would take over the rule of the gold coast should the british colonial rulers leave and thus hold similar power to that of the colonists over their indigenous brethren. moreover, in the attempts by the gold coast arps to engage globally with other anti-imperialist and pan-africanist movements, the gold coast arps required large sums of money to fund their trips, which they often acquired by charging tribal heads of local communities disproportionate fees to become members of the gold coast arps. these criticisms of the desires and motives of the gold coast arps are strengthened by the outcome of the native administration ordinance of 1927, which allowed chiefs of indigenous gold coast groups to have direct interaction with the colonial rulers. it was at the same time as the implementation of this ordinance that the gold coast gold coast arps began to lose some of their power, as they could no longer use the gold coast indigenous chiefs as leverage from which to gain funds. some also critique members of the gold coast arps because many did not return to their ancestral african roots, despite their constant praise of a need to return to traditional african roots as a way to fully realize the cultural nationalist policies that they supported.
