History

Ithaca Division was one of the original divisions created on 11 November 1879 under the Divisional Boards Act 1879. It comprised 3 subdivisions. By 1886, the residents of subdivision 1 were petitioning to separate and become the Shire of Windsor, [1] resulting in the establishment of the Shire of Windsor on 11 February 1887. [2] Meanwhile, the residents of subdivision 2 were petitioning to separate and become the Shire of Ithaca, [3] resulting in the creation of the Shire of Ithaca on 18 August 1887. [4]

The now much-depleted Ithaca Division then requested to be renamed the Enoggera Division [5] and this occurred on 28 March 1888. [6]

The Local Authorities Act 1902 replaced divisions with shires and towns. As a result, on 31 March 1903, the Enoggera Division became the Shire of Enoggera. [6] [7]

On 1 October 1925, the shire was amalgamated into the City of Brisbane. [7]
