I. Historical evolution

Perth's name comes from the same city in Scotland. Before the arrival of European immigrants, the aborigines had settled on both sides of the Swan River for a long time. During the period of 1697, the Dutch explorer William ullamin discovered an estuary when he went to the east coast of the Indian Ocean. He went up the river and found many black swans on it, so he named the river Swan River.

But the Dutch are not interested in settling here. Until 1829, immigrants led by Captain James Stirling of England cut down a tree not far from here and prayed for the opening of Perth City. Perth, built in 1829, was originally the capital of Swan River Colony, a freely settled colony.

Perth, named after Sir james stirling, was chosen as a new town. Stirling, a Scottish navigator, met the wishes of Sir George Murray, then colonial minister. The resolution named Perth County after Murray's birthplace and his seat in the House of Commons.
