First settled in 1863, Nerang is part of the Local Government Area of Gold Coast City. The suburb, which was an administrative centre for its region early in its history, is within the State District of Gaven (in the Legislative Assembly of Queensland) and the Federal Division of Moncrieff (in the Australian House of Representatives). The community's neighbouring suburbs are Advancetown, Ashmore, Carrara, Gaven, Gilston, Highland Park, Maudsland, Molendinar, Mount Nathan, and Pacific Pines.
