Maldon is historically and architecturally significant as a remarkably intact gold-rush era town. Originally, Maldon was surveyed in 1854, following the Tarrengower gold-rush of 1853. Seventeen separate reefs were discovered in the immediate area, and in the following five years the population reached 20,000, with possibly 2000 Chinese. The town had over 400 buildings including 20 hotels. By the time mining ceased in 1926, more than 12 million pounds worth of gold had been produced from the numerous mines surrounding the township. Maldon boasts that it is largely unchanged since the 1850s, and has attracted considerable interest from tourists for its 19th-century atmosphere. Maldon is also historically and socially significant as the first entire town in Australia to be declared 'historic', and worthy of preservation.
