MAITLAND Tourism

About MAITLAND

A clan of the Wanaruah Aboriginals once occupied the local area, and it was known as ''Boeoon'' after a species of waterfowl. The Hunter region was explored in 1801 by Lieutenant-Colonel Paterson of the NSW Corps who named the site Schanck's Forest Plains. Cedar loggers soon followed. Permanent European settlement began around 1819 when Governor Macquarie opened up the Lower Hunter area. Free settlers moved in and called the area Wallis Plains, followed by Morgan's Plains after Molly Morgan who was one of the best known convict settlers. The town was proclaimed as Maitland in 1833. Coal mining commenced in the 1870s and became a vital contributor to the local economy.

Maitland has many historic buildings and was once the principal town of the Hunter region. A booklet detailing each building can be obtained from the local Tourist Information Centre for those who are interested in doing an historic walk about. Tourism, an open cut mine and a brickworks are now the economic mainstays of the town.
