The Swan river is a naturally occurring river in WA.
It was not named after anybody. Captain James Stirling, from Lanarkshire, brought the first settlers to officially settle in Perth and established a new colony. Perth was originally called The Swan River Colony, then changed to Perth after the Scottish city of the same name, at a later date by Capt James Stirling who became governor of Australia.
James Stirling is Governor of the Swan River colony in Western Australia from 1829 until 1932. During that time, he led exploration parties through the coastal districts near the Swan, Murray, Collie, Preston, Blackwood and Vasse Rivers of Western Australia. He was instrumental in organising the establishment of the first agricultural settlements in the southwest, staving off starvation in the new colony.
The Swan River is the river around which the city of Perth, Western Australia, is built.
Swan River Honeyeater was created in 1844.
