The area was first surveyed in 1855 and was described as, ''"the best Soil on the island ... well watered, with a mild climate"'' by surveyor James Scott , for whom the town is named. This rings true today as the town, as well as being the regional centre for other north-east towns, is a major Agricultural centre. Potato Farming , Dairy Farming , Pine Plantation s, Poppy cultivation and Mining are all major industries in the area. The Forest EcoCentre , operated by Forestry Tasmania , was built in Scottsdale in the late 1990s , as an educational Visitor Centre designed to inform the public about the Forestry industry in Tasmania.
