History of Tweed Heads
The Tweed Valley was first settled in the 1840's by timber cutters who plied their trade in the lush forests of the area. Following the logging industry, farmers settled in the valley and grew tropical fruit and sugar cane. Tweed Heads also supported a large fishing fleet from an early stage. The name Tweed comes from the River Tweed which marks the border between Scotland and England.
Located just to the south of the Gold Coast, Tweed Heads primarily now relies on the tourism and hospitality industries.
