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]^[4]^[3]^[5]
