History

On 11 November 1879, the Tinana Division was created as one of 74 divisions within Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 2029.[1][2]

On 14 September 1883, part of Tinana Division was separated to create the new Granville Division.[3][4][5] On 8 November 1883, there was an adjustment of the boundaries between them.[6][7]

With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Tinana Division became the Shire of Tinana on 31 March 1903.[2][8]

The Shire of Tinana was abolished on 17 Feb 1917 and its area was incorporated into the Shire of Tiaro.[8]
