Murweh Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions of Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.

On 21 March 1894, under the "Local Government Act 1878", Subdivision 2 of the Murweh Division was separated to create a municipality called Borough of Charleville.^[1]

With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Borough of Charleville became the Town of Charleville on 31 March 1903.^[1]^[2]

On 10 September 1960, the Town of Charleville which had been separated from Murweh Division in 1894, was absorbed back into Shire of Murweh (the successor of Murweh Division).^[2]^[3]
