Oxley was one of the 75 divisions set up for the first Federal election in 1901.[1] It was named after explorer John Oxley. It was replaced by the Division of Griffith at the redistribution of 1 August 1934.[2] In 1949, a new Division of Oxley was created in the south-western suburbs of Brisbane, mainly around Ipswich.
