On 11 November 1879, the Murweh Division was created as one of 74 divisions within Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.[1] On 5 February 1889, the western part of Murweh Division was separated to create the new Adavale Division.[2][3][4]
The Adavale Divisional Board met for the first time on 26 May 1889 and Mr E. B. Learmouth was appointed chairman.[5]
The divisional board hall and offices were constructed in Adavale in 1889.[6]
With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Adavale Division became the Shire of Adavale on 31 March 1903.[1][7]
