History
Queensland proclaimed its counties through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as it subdivided land for registration under successive Land Acts. Eurinye County was named and bounded by the Governor in Council on 7 March 1901, under the Land Act 1897, and gazetted the next day. No further naming record for Eurinye survives in the official gazetteer.
