Download coordinates as: Minerva is a rural locality in the Central Highlands Region, Queensland, Australia.

[3] The terrain is mountainous with many named peaks, including: Minerva Provisional School opened on 8 November 1904 with Miss Elsie Hyde the first teacher.

It closed on 31 December 1928 due to low student numbers and no suitable accommodation for the teacher.

[29] In 1933, the school building was rented out and then in 1938 sold by auction for £39 and then relocated to Emerald.

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).
