Over a century ago, surveyors discovered a small stream, its banks lined with mussels, in an area that would later become known as the Upper Hunter Valley. It is said that the name
Muswellbrook was derived from the discovery of those mussels. Now Muswellbrook has grown to over 12,000 residents.
At the time of settlement in 1820, Muswellbrook and its surrounds were and had been occupied by the indigenous Wonnarua and Kamilaroi people for thousands of years. Their history is noted through the discovery and preservation of landscapes that exist today, such as open campsites, grinding grooves, rock shelters and scarred trees throughout Muswellbrook.
