Division of Moreton, Queensland
The Division of Moreton was created in 1901. It is named for Moreton Bay (named by James Cook after James Douglas, 14th Earl of Morton (1702-68), the President of the Royal Society. The difference in spelling arises from an error in the published version of Cook's journal. The title Earl of Morton derives from Morton Castle in Dumfriesshire, Scotland.).
