Maitland in north-east New South Wales was founded in 1820. Originally three seperate towns, West Maitland, East Maitland and Morpeth, it amalgamated in 1945 forming the city as it is today.
The city is situated on the Hunter River, and as such was subjected to a series of serious floods throughout the early 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.
