The town was the administrative centre of Monto Shire. In the {{CensusAU|2016}}, Monto had a population of 1,189 people.[2] HistoryEuropeans settled in the area in the late 1840s, maintaining large pastoral holdings at the northern end of the Burnett Valley. Gold unearthed along Three Moon Creek — a tributary of the Burnett River — in the 1870s attracted further settlers. The original site of the diggings, {{convert|30|km|mi}} north of present-day Monto, has since been flooded by construction of Cania Dam. The township of Monto was not formally established until 1924 in which year the post office opened.[3] With dwindling gold reserves, Monto turned its economy towards farming and logging, two of the region's major industries today. Deposits of thermal coal and limestone have been discovered in the shire. At the 2006 census, Monto had a population of 1,159.[4] AmenitiesMonto has a cultural and historical complex with a museum reserve, sporting facilities, swimming pool and golf club. The North Burnett Regional Council operates a public library in Monto at 50 Newton Street.[5] The Monto-Bancroft branch of the Queensland Country Women's Association meets at 9 Rutherford Street.[6] Heritage listingsMonto has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
TourismTourism is also a major industry in the region. Besides being a major highway town, the chief local attractions are Cania Gorge National Park and Cania Dam, {{convert|20|km|mi}} north of town. MiningIn 2006, Monto Minerals floated on the Alternative Investment Market in London, raising approximately A$41 million before expenses.[8] It has since announced its plans to begin commercial production of Feldspar, Ilmenite, Apatite and Titanomagnetite from its site at the Goondicum crater, just outside the eastern border of Monto Shire by the second quarter of 2007.[9] Coal mining company Macarthur Coal also owns large amounts of land in the Mulgildie area.
