Settled in 1847 and proclaimed a City in 1905, Maryborough was the port for wool, timber and sugar industries and the supply centre for the Gympie goldfields. Some 22,000 migrants entered Australia directly from Europe by sailing ship through the Port of Maryborough from 1859.

Maryborough has a significant historical precinct and became a City of regional influence. With golden memories of the past, a bright future, modern facilities, 19th century charm and friendly people, Maryborough is a great place to live, raise a family, establish a business or retire.
