History
The neighbourhood of Seven Mile is the site of the Seven Mile Diggings, a goldfield active in the late 1800s. The first report of gold found there was in March 1867 at a place described as seven miles from the town of Nanango by James Nash (who later discovered the Gympie Goldfields). Many people immediately came to try to find gold, but little gold was found. However, the goldfield continued to attract hopeful miners until around 1900.
The locality was officially named and bounded on 5 March 1999.
