Gold was discovered there in 1882 and Croydon Goldfield was proclaimed on 18 January 1886 with discoveries in the Tabletop area late in 1886. The historic production plus know reserves in the Croydon Goldfield have been quoted at 35 t of Au.

More recently, large-scale gold mining was conducted at mines to the north-east of Croydon, including the Federation and La Perouse mines. Mining ceased in 1991 and the parent company was dissolved in 1994, forgoing rehabilitation liabilities.
