Mitta Mitta is locatable only by finding the old St Stephen's Anglican Church situated 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) along a corrugated dirt road that runs west from the Nangus to Bethungra road.

The name Mitta Mitta is derived from the local Aboriginal words "mida-modunga" meaning "where reeds grow".[1]

Mitta Mitta Post Office opened on 1 January 1888, was reduced to a Telephone Office in 1931 and closed in 1936.[2]
