QUEENSLAND

BRITISH COLONY OF QUEENSLAND
Although formally part of the Colony of New South Wales since 1788, the area of
future Queensland was only colonized by the British in 1825 when a penal settlement
was established at Moreton Bay.
Following agitation against the government of New South Wales, Queensland - until
then known as the Moreton Bay District of New South Wales - was established as a
separate autonomous British Colony in 1859.
