It was the 60th anniversary of Milton Morris' election as Member for Maitland on March 3.
Mr Morris' distinguished political career included a 24 year stint in Macquarie Street for the Liberal Party, between 1956 and 1980.
He won nine elections by the time he left parliament.
During his tenure, he became the longest serving Minister for Transport in the state's history - a record that has not been broken.
The Mayor of Maitland, Cr Peter Blackmore, wished his long-time friend a happy anniversary on Thursday.
"It's a record that I don't think will be equalled by any future Member for Maitland," he said.
"He thoroughly deserves the title of Mr Maitland.
"He's been a wonderful ambassador."
