Mackay was founded by Australian explorer and pastoralist John Mackay in 1862. The region was initially developed for its fertile land and sugarcane cultivation, leading to the establishment of the town. Mackay quickly grew due to its agricultural potential and proximity to the Pioneer River, becoming a significant center for sugar production in Queensland.
