While it is impossible to know how old New South Wales is in geological terms, it was first named in 1770. James Cook, who was the first European to chart the area, named the entire eastern coast of Australia New South Wales because the countryside bore a resemblance to parts of southern Wales. New South Wales gradually lost land as new colonies were established! and became independent. In its current form, New South Wales has remained as is since 1 January 1911, when land was ceded for the Australian Capital Territory.
