On 11 November 1879, the Yeerongpilly Division was created as one of 74 divisions within Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 3428. It included and took its name from Yeerongpilly (now a suburb of Brisbane).

On 24 January 1891, further parts of Yeerongpilly Division (west of Blunder Creek to Wacol) were excised to create Sherwood Division (later Shire of Sherwood). With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, Yeerongpilly Division became the Shire of Yeerongpilly on 31 March 1903. On 1 October 1925, the Shire of Yeerongpilly was abolished, with its urban area becoming part of the new City of Brisbane, and the rural areas being divided between the Shires of Beaudesert, Tingalpa and Waterford.
