Описание: Maryborough is the centre of the Central Goldfields Shire and by far the largest town in the Shire. It has been an important centre of government administration from the time of the gold rushes and throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The Gold rushes which reached Maryborough and district in 1854. By the end of September 1854, there were estimated to be 25,000 diggers in the district spread over a large area. At its peak, Maryborough reportedly had a population of up to 50,000. These diggers were ultimately joined by Chinese miners with their numbers reaching 800 by mid-1856.

After the impact of gold Maryborough managed to remain an important regional centre and developed itself as a centre of secondary industry with the twentieth century seeing the growth of flour milling, butter manufacture, knitting mills, precision engineering and a wire works.

The last gold mine in Maryborough closed in 1918. In 1924 the Maryborough Knitting Mills opened, manufacturing whitewear (cotton underwear), gradually extending into a wider range of cotton, woollen and artificial fibre garments. The Borough of Maryborough became a City in 1961.
