The Town of Toowong is a former local government area of Queensland, Australia, located in western Brisbane in the area around the current suburb of Toowong.

History

The Toowong Division was established on 11 Nov 1879 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1789.^[1]^[2]

In May 1880, the more populated part of Toowong Division was proclaimed the Shire of Toowong,^[3]^[4] while the remaining part of the Toowong Division was renamed Indooroopilly Division.^[5]^[2]^[6]
