Town of 1770 is a village in Queensland built on the site of the second landing by James Cook and the crew of HM Bark Endeavour in May 1770 (Cook's first landing in the state of Queensland). Originally known as Round Hill – after the creek it sits on – the name was changed in 1970 to commemorate the bicentennial of Cook's visit. The community of 1770 hold the re-enactment of this historic landing each year as part of the 1770 Festival held in May.
