Herberton, a town, is 75 km west of Innisfail and 60 km south-west of Cairns. It is situated on the Wild River, a tributary of the Herbert River.
In 1864 the Herbert River was charted by George Dalrymple and later named by the surveyor-general, A.C. Gregory, after Queensland's first premier (1860), Sir Robert Herbert.
