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]

Presidents
