Charleville, Queensland, Australia

The town was settled in 1842 and named for Charleville (Ráth Luirc), Ireland. It developed as a service centre for the sheep belt. The first regular Qantas air route in Australia—between Charleville and Cloncurry—was inaugurated in 1922, and the town remains a major outback air base for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. For a time during World War II, the Charleville airfield was a storage and maintenance site for U.S. bombers used in the Allied Pacific campaign. Pop. (2006) urban centre, 3,278; (2011) urban centre, 3,318.
