Stanthorpe, Rural administrative center in Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.
The town sits at an elevation between 690 and 924 meters, featuring a subtropical highland climate in southeastern Queensland near the New South Wales border.
Tin miners established the settlement in 1872, naming it from Latin 'Stannum' for tin and Middle English 'thorpe' for village at Quart Pot Creek.
The Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, founded in 1972, displays collections from Australian artists and organizes the biennial Stanthorpe Art Prize competition.
The town center provides various services with cafes, shops, accommodation options, and educational facilities including Queensland College of Wine Tourism.
The area produces wine grapes in granite-rich soil, initiated by Father Jerome Davadi in the 1860s, leading to strong Italian influences in local viticulture.
