In
1826 the brig Amity set sail from
Sydney to establish a penal settlement
at King George's Sound, in what was then
unclaimed territory, to prevent a
possible French claim. Under the
command of Major Lockyer the settlement
of 'Frederick's Town' was
proclaimed.
Sweetman provides a detailed list of the personnel, military and convict, who first settled there until it came under the control of the Swan River Colony in 1831.
