History of Canberra - Creation of the Australian Capital Territory. The district's change from a New South Wales rural area to the national capital began during debates over Federation in the early 20th century.

Henry VII was fond of Richmond Castle in Yorkshire. When a fire accidentally destroyed his manor in Sheen in 1497 he built a palace there and re-named it Richmond in 1501. The name Sheen is now used for the eastern end of Richmond town. Many people assume that the folk song "Lass of Richmond Hill" refers to Richmond Upon Thames, but it originated in the Yorkshire Richmond. In William Shakespeare's "Richard III", and in "Henry VI part 3", Henry VII is referred to as Richmond. This is because he was Earl of Richmond. This Richmond was the s ...

The fire consumed a staggering 13,200 houses and 87 churches, among them the beloved St. Paul's Cathedral.

Hanson believes most of the fatalities were poor people whose bodies were cremated by the intense heat of the fire, and thus their remains were n ...

They turned an adjacent tidal inlet at the mouth of the River Neckinger into a dock, nam ...
