From a humble start as a pioneer wool port in 1847 to a thriving centre of commerce, industry and immigration by the start of the 1900s, Maryborough has a long, proud and fascinating history. The city is now famous for its attractive streetscapes and adaptive re-use of these existing heritage buildings, giving a priceless depth of character and adding a sense of history.
