Winton, Administrative division in Central West Queensland, Australia
The Shire of Winton extends across 53,814 square kilometers of land in Queensland, containing settlements like Corfield, Middleton, and Opalton.
Robert Allen, a postmaster from Dorset, England, established Winton in 1876 near Pelican Waterholes before relocating the settlement to its current location.
The Koa, Maiawali, and Karuwali peoples maintain strong connections to the region, particularly within Bladensburg National Park and surrounding territories.
The region operates primarily through beef production activities, with additional economic support from opal mining and oil and gas reserve development.
Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited, now known as Qantas Airlines, was founded in Winton during 1920.
