A little bit of history…

River Haven, or in the early days the Shire of River Haven was formed on the 3rd day of September 1983 with 10 members. Since then it has grown in numbers finally progressing to Barony status. River Haven has seen six Baron and Baronesses since it was formed (their Devices can be seen on the Roll of Arms page) .

Since those early days the Barony of River Haven has grown to include the Cantons of Stegby and Burnfield taking in areas south to the Queensland/New South Wales border, west as far as Dalby and north as far as Mackay. (Previous groups included the Canton of Castellum Montanum, School of St Hieronymous & Drajks Fjord.)
