History
The Hann Division was created on 11 November 1879 as one of 74 divisions around Queensland under the Divisional Boards Act 1879 with a population of 10167.[1][2] Its administrative centre was Maytown.[3]
On 30 October 1885, the coastal islands of the Hann Division was separated to create the new Torres Division.[4][5]
With the passage of the Local Authorities Act 1902, the Hann Division became the Shire of Hann on 31 March 1903.[2][6]
On 16 January 1919, the Shire of Hann and the Shire of Daintree merged to form the Shire of Cook.[6][7]
