Before officially being named Cairns, the town was variously known as Dickson River by people who squatted along its banks, Newport by Cooktown residents who saw Cairns as a rival, Thornton after William Thornton and Trinity Bay by people who were unsure of the real name.

Clifton Beach was named as a suburb in May of 1959. It was as an acknowledgement of a civic duty by William F.

It was named Mulgrave River Settlement in 1882, but after ten years shortened up to ‘Mulgrave’.

Around 1881, it was developed into a substantial farming plantation, known as Buchans Estate, and growing all manner of fruits, including some 2,000 palms. Doubtless because of the coconuts, the locals deemed the area Palm Beach. To avoid confusion with Palm Beach Sydney, the area became commonly known as Palm Cove.

Another version reflects the feisty personality of an Irish railway construction foreman, ‘Red’ Lynch. Freshwater railway station is the site of a cottage claimed to have been the home of Mr Lynch.
	Smithfield		Smithfield was originally the name of a township on the Barron River, named after William Smith (Bill) in 1876. Smith was a prospector, packer and track finder to the Hodgkinson Field. It was known locally as Smithville, to avoid the association with the London cattle market where witches and martyrs were burnt at the stake. Unknowingly located on flood plains, the township declined and was deserted by 1881. The town was re-sited on higher ground where the current suburb is now located.
	Stratford		Named after the AIF enlisted man, Harry Stratford, who holds the sad distinction of being one of the first men ashore at Gallipoli, and also the first solider to perish at that landing. That Stratford was named after Stratford-on-Avon is discounted.

	Waugh’s Pocket		Apparently named after a pioneer farmer, possibly T.R. Waugh, who was a Councillor on the Cairns Divisional Board in 1889.

Until June 1909 the railway station was known as Pryns Station after William Pryn who owned a hotel in this location on the banks of Gordon Creek. Re-named by the Railway Department circa 1914 from an Aboriginal name meaning 'piccaninny' or child. The likely spelling should have been Wurree the Aboriginal word for child who likes to dabble in shallow water.
	Wright’s Creek		Named after the Wright Brothers who brought 1000 head of cattle down to the creek for agistment in 1878.
	Yorkeys Knob		George Lawson (1839-1907), known as 'Yorkey’, was a fisherman who lived on the hill known locally as the Knob. Yorkey was a beche-de-mer fisherman and during the off-fishing season he farmed pumpkins, sweet potatoes and melons. The area of land farmed by Yorkey contained the Knob and was bounded to the west by Varley Street and to the south by Kempton Street – essentially the main beach area of the suburb now known as Yorkeys Knob. On the 20th September 1886, whilst fishing at Green Island, Yorkey had his right hand blown off by an explosion of dynamite. The stump remaining on Yorkey's arm is said to have resembled the land at Yorkeys Knob, further entrenching the name with locals.
