Shire of Howard
The Shire of Howard is a former local government area in the Wide Bay–Burnett area of Queensland, Australia, centred on the town of Howard.
History
[edit | edit source]On 11 November 1879, the Burrum Division was created as one of 74 divisions within Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879.[1] On 1 January 1887, part of the Burrum Division was excised to create the Isis Division. On 30 June 1900, part of the Isis Division was excised to create the Howard Division.[2]
With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Howard Division became the Shire of Howard on 31 March 1903.[2][3]
The Shire of Howard was abolished on 15 Feb 1917 to become parts of Burrum and Woocoo Shires.[3]
