Caboolture Shire

Local government began in 1879 with the formation of the Caboolture Divisional Board with authority over the present Caboolture, Kilcoy, Landsborough, Pine Rivers, Redcliffe and part of Maroochy shires. In 1888 the southern areas, Pine Rivers and Redcliffe were made Divisions in their own right and in 1890 the coastal Maroochy Division was created. The remaining sectors, Caboolture, Kilcoy and Landsborough constituted the Caboolture Division, which became a shire in 1903.
