Hobart is the second oldest capital city in Australia, with Sydney being the oldest, the latter having been settled in 1788. The city began as a penal colony at Risdon Cove on the Derwent River in 1803 to offset British concerns over the presence of French explorers. A year later it was moved to its current location at Sullivan's Cove. The name Hobart Town was adopted by the settlement in June 1804, after Lord Hobart the Colonial Secretary.

∙ 15y agoAustralia's first and only capital city was and is Canberra.
Australia's first capital, as a federated nation, was Canberra. Both Sydney and Melbourne vied for the position, and because of the rivalry between the two cities, it was decided that the national capital should lie somewhere between the two.
There is a common misconception taught overseas that Melbourne was once the capital of Australia. This was never the case: Melbourne was the temporary seat of power between 1901 and 1927, purely because it was the only city with a building large enough to house the parliament. It was never the nation's capital.
