The Limestone Plains area (Canberra-Yass) had been settled from as early as the 1820s, but there was no city in the region. The first settler was Joshua John Moore who took up land in the area in 1824, naming it Canberry. He took this name after hearing the local indigenous people use the word Kamberra when they conversed. Moore's land was situated at the base of Black Mountain, although much of his land now lies submerged by Lake Burley Griffin.
