Atherton (pop. 4640) is the chief place on the Atherton Tableland. It lies in a productive agricultural area, with good soil and high rainfall (dairy farming, maize plantations) and patches of rain forest. The town grew up round a logging camp and took its name from John Atherton, a farmer who settled here around 1870.
