The island was first discovered in 1642 by Abel Tasman who named it Van Dieman’s Land, and settlement began in 1798 and continued until 1861 when it became a dumping ground for convicts (the majority with petty crimes). The aboriginals, who roamed the lands of Tasmania, have died out and the last full-blooded Tasmanian aboriginal died in 1876. |
