History

- In 2020, the Queensland Government made more changes. They created three new localities: Rubyvale, Sapphire Central, and Anakie Siding. To make room for these new areas, Argyll lost some of its land in the southeast. This part of Argyll became part of the new Rubyvale and Sapphire Central areas.
