History

thumb|Map of Shire of Windsor and adjacent local government areas, March 1902

On 11 February 1887, a portion of the Ithaca Division was proclaimed a municipality to be known as the Shire of Windsor.

On 10 February 1904, the shire was proclaimed the Town of Windsor.

On 1 October 1925, the town was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane.

After the amalgamation into City of Brisbane, the Windsor Town Council Chambers was used as storage and office space by the Brisbane City Council, which undertook a restoration of the building in 1987.

Today it is home to the Windsor and District Historical Society and the National Trust of Queensland; the public is welcome to visit.
