History

Minerva Provisional School opened on 8 November 1904 with Miss Elsie Hyde the first teacher.[28] By June 1905 there were 31 students enrolled.[29] On 1 January 1909 it became Minerva State School. It closed on 31 December 1928.[30]

On 17 April 2020, the Queensland Government re-drew the boundaries of localities within the Central Highlands Region by replacing the locality of The Gemfields with three new localities of Rubyvale, Sapphire Central and Anakie Siding (around the towns of Rubyvale, Sapphire, and Anakie respectively). This included adjusting the boundaries of other existing localities in the Region to accommodate these changes; Minerva gained a small area from the north-eastern edge of Lochington, reducing the area of the locality from 935.7 to 934.4 square kilometres (361.3 to 360.8 sq mi).[31][32][33][34] As a consequence of these changes, the boundary between Lochington and Minerva/Gindie more closely follows the course of the Nogoa River.[34]
