Like all counties in Queensland, it is a non-functional administrative unit, that is used mainly for the purpose of registering land titles. From 30 November 2015, the government no longer referenced counties and parishes in land information systems however the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying retains a record for historical purposes.

The county was the traditional lands of the Badjiri people. European settlement began in the 1870s.

The largest town in the county is Hungerford, Queensland and the nearest railway is at Eulo, Queensland.The only airport is Hungerford Aerodrome operated by the Bulloo Shire Council.

All of the county is incorporated with two local government agencies Shire of Bulloo in the west and Shire of Paroo in the east.
