The Shire of Rosenthal was a local government area south and west of the regional centre of Warwick in the Darling Downs region of Queensland. The shire, administered from Rosenthal Heights, a Warwick suburb, covered an area of {{convert|1984.1|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed as a local government entity from 1886 until 1994, when it was dissolved and amalgamated with City of Warwick, Shire of Allora and Shire of Glengallan to form the Shire of Warwick.
History
File:Rosenthal Division, March 1902.jpg
The Inglewood Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 1378.{{Gazette QLD|title=Proclamation [Inglewood Division constituted]|volume=25|page=994|date=11 November 1879}}
Following a petition by residents, the Rosenthal Division was created on 18 April 1889 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 from Subdivision No. 1 of Inglewood Division.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article82214282 |title=ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. |newspaper=Warwick Examiner and Times (Qld. : 1867 - 1919) |location=Qld. |date=13 April 1889 |access-date=6 October 2013 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article76661230 |title=THE Warwick Argus. |newspaper=Warwick Argus (Qld. : 1879 - 1901) |location=Qld. |date=25 May 1889 |access-date=6 October 2013 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}}{{Gazette QLD|title=Proclamation [Rosenthal Division constituted]|volume=46|page=1360|date=20 April 1889}}{{Gazette QLD|title=Proclamation [Inglewood Division amended]|volume=46|page=1360|date=20 April 1889}}
With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, Rosenthal Division became the Shire of Rosenthal on 31 March 1903.{{cite QSA Agency|1745|Rosenthal Shire Council|26 September 2013}} Its offices were located at Willi Street, Rosenthal Heights.
On 19 March 1992, the Electoral and Administrative Review Commission, created two years earlier, produced its report External Boundaries of Local Authorities, and recommended that local government boundaries in the Warwick area be rationalised into 3 new local government areas.{{cite web|title=External Boundaries of Local Authorities|url=http://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/documents/committees/PCEAR/1990/earc/pcear-report13.pdf|publisher=Electoral and Administrative Review Commission|access-date=3 February 2014}} That recommendation was not implemented, but the outcome was that the Shire of Rosenthal was merged with the Shires of Allora and Glengallan and the City of Warwick to form a new Shire of Warwick. The Local Government (Allora, Glengallan, Rosenthal and Warwick) Regulation 1994 was gazetted on 20 May 1994. On 25 June, an election was held for the new council, and on 1 July 1994, the Shire of Rosenthal was abolished.{{cite QSA Agency|6067|Warwick Shire Council|10 September 2013}}
