Palmer County, Queensland

Last updated January 04, 2023

Palmer County is a cadastral division of Queensland and a County of the Warrego Land District of southwestern Queensland.^[1]^[2]

The county is divided into civil parishes.

History

Prior to colonisation, the county was the traditional lands of the Wadjalang people.^[3]^[4]^[5]

The county came into existence in the 19th century, but on 8 March 1901, when the Governor of Queensland issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.^[6] a large portion was carved off to create Burrandilla County, Queensland.

Like all counties in Queensland, it is a non-functional administrative unit, that is used mainly for the purpose of registering land titles. From 30 November 2015, the government no longer referenced counties and parishes in land information systems however the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying retains a record for historical purposes.^[7]

The centre of local government for the county is Charleville, Queensland just outside the county to the northeast and the postal code is 4470.
