In 1787, Australia was primarily referred to as "New South Wales." This name was chosen by Captain James Cook in 1770 when he claimed the eastern part of the continent for Britain. The term "New South Wales" was used to designate the territory as a British colony, which was officially established when the First Fleet arrived in 1788. The name reflected the British colonial practice of naming new lands after places in Britain.
