The County of Raglan is a county (a cadastral division) in Queensland, Australia, located mostly within the Shire of Banana in Central Queensland.[1][2] The county was first created in January 1854 by the office of the Colonial Secretary of New South Wales.[3] On 7 March 1901, the Governor issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.[4] Its schedule described Raglan thus:

Bounded on the south by the southern boundaries of Winterbourne, Callide and Prairie; on the west by the western boundaries of the parishes of Prairie, Spier, Earlsfield, Bundalba, Dundee, Gelobera and Calliungal; on the north by the county of Livingstone; and on the east by the counties of Livingstone, Deas Thompson, and Clinton.
