History

The neighbourhood of Seven Mile is the site of the Seven Mile Diggings, a goldfield active in the late 1800s. The first report of gold found there was in March 1867 at a place described as seven miles from the town of Nanango by James Nash (who later discovered the Gympie Goldfields). [6] [7] [8] [9] Many people immediately came to try to find gold, but little gold was found. However, the goldfield continued to attract hopeful miners until around 1900. [10] [11]

The locality was officially named and bounded on 5 March 1999. [2]
