The County of Rochedale is a county (a cadastral division) in Queensland, Australia.[1] The county is divided into civil parishes. It is centred on the city of Mount Isa, its only population centre.[2][3] On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.[4] Its schedule described Rochedale thus:

Bounded on the north by the county of Brahe and parts of the west and south of Glenvale No. 2 Block to the Leichhardt River, by that river upwards to the north-west corner of Parkside No. 1, by the north, east and south boundaries of that block, part of the south and east boundaries of Parkside No. 2, part of the north, the east, and south boundaries of Parkside No. 5, and the east boundary of Parkside No. 8 Block; on the south by the counties of Chapworth, Waverley and Piturie; and on the west by the county of Nash.
