History

The Central Methodist Church opened on 19t October 1879. In September 1890 It was replaced by new building. In February 1966 it was demolished to allow the present octagonal church building to be completed by June 1966. [3] When the Methodist Church amalgamated into the Uniting Church of Australia in 1977, the church became the Charters Towers Uniting Church.

The suburb of Charters Towers City was known as Lissner until 2012, when a request submitted by the Charters Towers Chamber of Commerce and Mines to better identify Charters Tower's central business district was approved. As part of the decision, some parts of the suburbs of Queenton, Grand Secret and Richmond Hill were included into the newly created Charters Towers City. [4]

In the 2016 census Charters Towers City had a population of 2,134 people. [1]
