It does not attempt to document the construction of every significant building, the acquisition of every I land grant, the commencement of every major industrial enterprise or identify every settler prominent in the I history of the study area. The primary purpose of the work is to define, as concisely as possible, the principal events or catalysts that were I influential in the unique development of a particular area. It is not so much a "what" history as a "how" or "why" history although, in its explication, it does provide a considerable wealth of detail with respect to I the "whats" of history. With respect to the latter, detailed analysis and I discussion of sites, events and personalities of the Maitland district have been included in several local histories and secondary studies. These works have examined a wealth of primary material as well as contributing I considerable local understanding and observations that have been invaluable in the formation of this thematic overview.
