History

The Cooktown Independent was first published in Cooktown on 6 June 1884 by James Fowler for Cooktown Independent Newspaper Company.[1] In 1937, it became the Cooktown Independent and Northern Sun.[2][3][4] From November 1939 to 1947, it was published in Mossman under the title Northern Boomerang.[5][6]
