Known as the 'Village in the Hills', Herberton sits about 1000 metres above sea level on the south-west ranges of the Atherton Tableland. It was established in 1880 – the first settlement on the tableland. It was a thriving tin-mining town in the Herbert River field until the mine's closure in 1978.
