Ingham, Administrative center in Hinchinbrook Shire, Australia.
The administration district spans across 2,807 square kilometers of North Queensland territory, incorporating multiple towns and agricultural regions.
The settlement began in the 1870s and transformed into a major sugar production area with the establishment of plantations in the Herbert River Valley.
The region experienced significant Italian migration in the early 1900s, leading to a strong presence of Italian families managing sugar cane farms.
The Hinchinbrook Shire Council maintains public libraries, emergency services, and conducts regular meetings to address community needs and development plans.
The district connects to Hinchinbrook Island, which spans 39,350 hectares and remains separated from the mainland by the Hinchinbrook Channel.
