Historie
Perth was founded in 1829 by Captain James Stirling as the Swan River Colony, initially established as a free settlement. The city grew rapidly during the gold rush of the 1890s, attracting thousands of prospectors and immigrants, which shaped its diverse culture.
Throughout the 20th century, Perth continued to expand, becoming a major economic hub due to its resources and mining industries. Today, it stands as a vibrant city that balances its rich history with modern development, while still embracing its natural surroundings.
