Maitland is the Heritage City of the Hunter. In the early 1800s, rather than a gold rush, there was a "red cedar rush". The earliest explorers came to the region and began to fell the valued red cedar from the banks of the Hunter River.
Settlements soon developed. Morpeth and Maitland became the prominent towns of the area. The affluence and prosperity, with which Maitland and its districts were endowed, was soon reflected in the imposing public and commercial buildings and the magnificent private homes. Many of the homes are heritage listed and can be inspected in the Heritage Month celebrations held in April each year.
