[Qgis-user] QGIS Spatial Query

[Randal Hale]

First thing I would try would be doing a spatial join. A spatial Join 
will take the attributes from the polygon layer and add them to your 
point layer.

Vector Menu -> Data Management Tools -> Join Attributes by location. You 
will get more than just the one column but the extra can be removed.
