Queensland's oldest provincial city
Ipswich, the oldest provincial city in Queensland, has a history going back before the proclamation of the Colony of Queensland on 10 December 1859.
The Municipality of Ipswich was proclaimed on 3 March 1860. A notice dated 17 March 1860, in the Queensland Government Gazette stated that the Corporation ‘Shall consist of a Mayor and Alderman’. It nominated Henry Buckley, of Ipswich as the ‘first Returning Officer and that the first meeting of electors shall be held at noon, at the Court House, at Ipswich on Thursday, the Twelfth day of April, in the year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty’.
The boundaries of the Municipality were proclaimed on 16 March 1860.
