Maitland, Administrative center in Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia.
Maitland is a town in the Hunter Valley that spreads along the Hunter River, protected by levees from flooding. The main business and administrative area sits on the right bank of the river.
The area was originally named Wallis Plains in 1818 and developed into a township in 1829 with government buildings, shops, and a wharf supporting river trade. This infrastructure made it the regional administrative hub it remains today.
The Maitland Regional Art Gallery exhibits local artworks in a dedicated facility, while the Hunter Valley Steamfest celebrates industrial heritage each year.
The New England Highway connects the town to Newcastle, located about 35 kilometers away. Regular train services link it to other centers across the region.
The Jewish Cemetery was established in the mid-1800s and is one of only two provincial Jewish burial grounds in New South Wales. This site preserves a little-known chapter of early Jewish settlement in the region.
