The Shire, administered from the town of St Lawrence, covered an area of 18,546.0 square kilometres, and existed as a local government entity from 1879 until 2008, when it was amalgamated with the Shires of Belyando and Nebo to form the Isaac Region.
context_section_description: On 11 November 1879, the Broadsound Division was established as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1146.
  On 3 March 1892, part of subdivision 2 of the Broadsound Division was transferred to subdivision 3 of the Gogango Division. Another part of subdivision 2 of the Broadsound Division was transferred to the Duaringa Division.
