The Shire of Gowrie was a local government area in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia.
History
The Divisional Boards Act 1879 created local government areas across Queensland; one of these was the Gowrie Division which came into existence on 11 November 1879 with a population of 2898.[1]
On 20 August 1887, a part of the Gowrie Division was separated to form the Shire of Drayton.[2]
The Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced divisions with towns and shires, resulting in Gowrie Division becoming the Shire of Gowrie on 31 Mar 1903.[3]
On 25 January 1913, the Shire of Gowrie was abolished and was split between the Town of Newtown and the Shire of Jondaryan.[3][4]
