Gowan County, Queensland

Last updated February 16, 2022

Gowan County, Queensland is a cadastral division of Queensland and a County of the Warrego Land District of southwestern Queensland in Australia.^[1]

The county came into existence in the 19th century, but on 8 March 1901, when the Governor of Queensland issued a proclamation legally dividing Queensland into counties under the Land Act 1897.^[2]

Like all counties in Queensland, it is a non-functional administrative unit, that is used mainly for the purpose of registering land titles. As of 30 November 2015, the government no longer referenced counties and parishes in land information systems however the Museum of Lands, Mapping and Surveying retains a record for historical purposes.^[3]

Like all Counties in eastern Australia (what was New South Wales) the county is subdivided into civil parishs. The county was the traditional lands of the Badjiri ^[4] people. European settlement began in the 1870s.
