History

The borders of Argyll have changed a few times over the years. This happens when the government decides to adjust the size or shape of different areas.

  • In 2019, a nearby locality called Mistake Creek was closed down. Its land was added to other areas like Clermont and Peak Vale. Argyll's borders were also slightly changed during this time.
  • 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.
