Who founded Norfolk Island?

Norfolk Island is one of Australia external (offshore) territories, and lies about 1,500km northeast of Sydney. It was first discovered by Captain Cook on 10 October 1774. Cook reported that there were tall, straight trees (Norfolk pines) and flax-like plants which could be most useful to Britain, whose Royal Navy needed flax for sails and hemp for ropes. Norfolk Island seemed to have a ready supply of these items, and its tall trees could be utilised as ships' masts (later it proved unviable for these purposes).

Governor Arthur Phillip, Captain of the First Fleet to New South Wales, was ordered to colonise Norfolk Island before the French could claim it. Phillip ordered Lieutenant Philip Gidley King to establish a convict settlement there, along with some free settlers to farm the island, and prepare it for commercial development. They arrived on 6 March 1788.
