The colony of the Moreton Bay District was founded in 1824, with the first settlement established at Humpybong.
This settlement was abandoned less than a year later due to insufficient fresh water. The main settlement was moved 30km away, to the Brisbane River. Another convict settlement was established under the command of Captain Patrick Logan. On 10 September 1825, the settlement was given the name of Brisbane, but it was still part of the New South Wales territory.
