Queenton
Electorate created by the 1912 redistribution based on the eastern part of Charters Towers and the rural environs to the east of the city. Incorporated into Charters Towers in 1931.
Residential suburb of Charters Towers on the Flinders Highway and the Great Northern Railway Line that includes the Charters Towers railway station. An area south of the station was the site of numerous rich gold reefs where there were several mine leases with 'Queen' in their names. Situated between Charters Towers and Millchester, Queenton was the site for the first cemetery (1872-95).
