Best Answer

The correct answer would be the native people who initially lived there. But it was named New South Wales by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770 (who 'discovered it', in the colonial sense of the term). Cook was the first to chart the entire east coast of Australia, and he claimed it all for the British Empire under the name of "New South Wales".
