The Captain Cook Highway passes through the town.[2] HistoryThe town name is derived from Mount Buchan, named on 20 October 1873 by explorer George Elphinstone Dalrymple, after one of the districts of his native Aberdeenshire in Scotland.[1][3] In the 1880s, there was a coconut palm plantation with over 600 trees owned by James Jamieson known as the Mount Buchan Estate. It was predicted to become a popular seaside retreat for the people of Cairns.[4] The palm trees along the beach areas gave it the nickname Palm Beach but, as that caused confusion with other places officially known as Palm Beach, it acquired the name Palm Cove, which is now the official name for the locality (although the town itself remains gazetted as Buchan).[5] In April 1933, a number of families were living at Buchan Point while the men were working on the road from Cairns to Port Douglas (now the Captain Cook Highway). The families asked the Queensland Government to provide a school.[6] It is unclear when the school opened but in December 1933 the children of Buchan Point State School enjoyed a "breaking up" party at Hartley's Creek.[7] However, the school closed in February 1934.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite QPN|4865|Buchan|town in Cairns Region|accessdate=28 December 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://qldglobe.information.qld.gov.au/|title=Queensland Globe|publisher=State of Queensland|accessdate=13 March 2018}} 3. ^{{Cite QPN|4869|Mount Buchan|mountain in the Cairns Region|accessdate=13 March 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article39426336|title=Mr. Groom, M.L.A., on Cairns.|date=26 June 1889|newspaper=Cairns Post|accessdate=14 March 2018|issue=430|location=Queensland, Australia|volume=VII,|page=2|via=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://queenslandplaces.com.au/palm-cove|title=Palm Cove|last=|first=|date=|website=Queensland Places|publisher=Centre for the Government of Queensland, University of Queensland|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180313135442/http://queenslandplaces.com.au/palm-cove|archive-date=13 March 2018|dead-url=no|access-date=13 March 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article61718041|title=CAIRNS NOTES.|date=13 April 1933|newspaper=Townsville Daily Bulletin|accessdate=13 March 2018|issue=88|location=Queensland, Australia|volume=LV,|page=8|via=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article41238657|title=HARTLEY'S CREEK SCHOOL PICNIC.|date=23 December 1933|newspaper=Cairns Post|accessdate=13 March 2018|issue=9950|location=Queensland, Australia|page=12|via=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{Cite QSA Item|13990|Buchan Point No.850 State School|13 March 2018}} External links{{Commons category|Palm Cove, Queensland}}
