List of mayors of Cairns
Cairns was originally established as a Borough with a Chairman from 1885 until 1903, when the "Local Authorities Act 1902" transformed it into a Town with a Mayor. The Town achieved City status in 1923. In 1995, when the Shire of Mulgrave amalgamated into the City, the Mayor was elected by a much larger base of voters. In 2008, when the City was amalgamated with the Shire of Douglas into the Cairns Region, the Mayor's voter base expanded yet again.
