On 11 November 1879, the Tingalpa Division was created as one of 74 divisions within Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1,490.[2]

However, the residents of Cleveland sought to be independent of the division[3] and on 29 May 1885, Cleveland Division was separated from Tingalpa Division.[4][5][6][7]

With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Tingalpa Division became the Shire of Tingalpa on 31 March 1903.[8]

On 1 October 1925, the shire lost areas west of the Tingalpa Creek to the new City of Brisbane.
