European settlement of South Australia

The British Colony of South Australia took shape between the formation of the South Australian Land Company in 1831 and the commencement of the Legislative Assembly in 1842. The lands that are now South Australia were recognised by Britain as inhabitable prior to this time, and a series of entrepreneurial propositions and Acts of the British Parliament resulted in the foundation and settlement of lands in South Australia.
