Welcome to Maitland
Situated on a flood plain beside the Hunter River inland from Newcastle, Maitland has a long history dating back to its days as the major town of the Hunter Valley. It originally grew as two separate towns - West Maitland and East Maitland, with the west eventually developing as the city's commercial centre and the east as an administration centre with many public buildings.
Maitland offers a number of local attractions including a gallery, museum, the old Maitland Gaol and other historic buildings. It is also a central base for exploring the wineries of the Hunter Valley.
