European settlement began in the Monto district in 1848 with the establishment of large pastoral stations. The government of the day wanted closer agricultural settlement so took up the large stations & distributed over a million acres to 50,000 people from 1923 as part of the Upper Burnett and Callide Valley Land Settlement Scheme. The town of Monto was formed as a result of this scheme.
The low-set timber Court House was rebuilt in 1930 as the Government Administration Centre for the Monto district. The
majority of the building was originally a public building located at Eidsvold, and it was dismantled and transported to Monto and rebuilt in its original form.
