HistoryThe Macknade Sugar Company opened a sugar plantation and the Macknade Sugar Mill in the area in 1874. The district took its name from the mill, which in turn took its name from a house in Kent, England where the mill's owners had lived.[4] Macknade State School opened on 13 November 1893.[5] The postal receiving office opened in about 1901 and became a post office in October 1902. The post office closed on 29 October 1993.[6] EconomyThe Macknade Sugar Mill is situated on the banks of the Herbert River. It is the oldest raw sugar mill in Queensland. Its highest output was in 2005 when it crushed 1.82 million tonnes of sugar cane.[7] The estuarine location of Macknade is well-suited for sugar growing, but it is also well-suited for aquaculture. Coral Sea Farms on Neame's Inlet Road raise both black tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon) and barramundi (Lates calcarifer).[8] References1. ^{{cite QPN|20467|Macknade (town)|accessdate=22 May 2014}} 2. ^{{cite QPN|42522|Macknade (locality)|accessdate=22 May 2014}} 3. ^1 {{Census 2011 AUS|id=SSC30992 |name=Macknade (SSC)|accessdate=22 May 2014|quick=on}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Macknade|url=http://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/macknade|work=Queensland Places|publisher=Centre for the Government of Queensland, University of Queensland|accessdate=22 May 2014}} 5. ^{{Cite QldSchool|accessdate=22 May 2014}} 6. ^{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | publisher = Premier Postal Auctions | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=QLD&country= | accessdate = 22 May 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Sucrogen: a sweet story in sugar and renewable energy|url=http://www.burdekin.qld.gov.au/wp/media/downloads/2012/08/SucrogenSugarInformationBooklet1.pdf|publisher=Burdekin Shire Council|accessdate=23 May 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Products|url=http://www.coralseafarms.com.au/|publisher=Coral Sea Farms|accessdate=23 May 2014}} External links
