Town of Cooktown
The Town of Cooktown is the former local government area for Cooktown in Far North Queensland, Australia. It existed from 1876 to 1932.
History
[edit | edit source]
On 3 April 1876, Cooktown was established as a separate municipality, the Borough of Cooktown.[1][2]
On 11 November 1879, the Daintree was created as a local government for the coastal land surrounding Cooktown.[3]
On 31 March 1903 with the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Borough of Cooktown became the Town of Cooktown and the Daintree Division became the Shire of Daintree.[1][3][4][5]
On 16 January 1919, the Shire of Daintree was merged with the Shire of Hann to create the Shire of Cook, covering much of Cape York Peninsula.[5][6]
On 4 August 1932, the Town of Cooktown was abolished and absorbed into the Shire of Cook.[4]
