Until 2024, the federal seat of [[Division of Cook|Cook]] was originally only named after Captain [[James Cook]] and not Joseph Cook. This meant that Joseph Cook was the only (eligible) Prime Minister who did not have a federal electorate named after him. In 2006, the [[Australian Electoral Commission]]'s Redistribution Committee for New South Wales proposed that the division be jointly named for Joseph and James Cook, but this did not eventuate at the time.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.aec.gov.au/Electorates/Redistributions/files/2005/nsw/proposal_nsw_redistribution06.pdf|page=36|title=The 2006 Proposed Redistribution of New South Wales into 49 Electoral Divisions : Report of the Redistribution Committee |publisher=Australian Electoral Commission|year=2006}}</ref> In 2024, the namesake was finally altered to be joint between both men, to give recognition to Joseph Cook and have a division named after him.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.aec.gov.au/redistributions/2023/nsw/final-report/files/Redistribution-of-New-South-Wales-into-electoral-divisions-October-2024.pdf|title=Redistribution of New South Wales into electoral divisions|publisher=Australian Electoral Commission|date=October 2024|access-date=1 December 2024}}</ref>
