History

The electoral district has existed twice. It was first created in 1912, and was replaced by Barambah in 1950. It was recreated in 2001, as a replacement for Barambah.
Nanango was the original seat of Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen.
The seat has never been won by the Labor Party in either of its incarnations; indeed, counting its history as Barambah, it has been in the hands of a conservative party or a conservative independent for over a century.
