"Arthur Phillip" was his full name.
Australia's first governor was Captain Arthur Phillip (1738 - 1814), who arrived with the First Fleet in 1788. He was, in fact, the Governor of the New South Wales colony.
The first European settlers in Sydney were the people of the First Fleet - that is, 778 convicts from Britain, together with officers and their families, under the supervision of Captain Arthur Phillip. Sydney was settled as a penal colony.
King Phillip was involved in another relationship. When a guard found out, he got jealous and killed him.
When the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay on 18 January 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip immediately determined that there was insufficient fresh water, an absence of usable timber, poor quality soil and no safe harbour at Botany Bay. Thus the fleet was moved to Port Jackson, arriving on 26 January 1788.
