Situated on the Midlands Highway, 13km south of Launceston, Breadalbane was named by Governor Macquarie after the Earl of Breadalbane, his wife's cousin.

The Breadalbane area was notorious in the early 19th century for sheep stealing. In the colonial days there were three inns at Breadalbane, The Albion, The Temperance Hotel, and The Woolpack Inn (today, only the Woolpack Inn still stands).
