Perth

The City of Perth is the capital of Western Australia. 

The City of Perth is bounded by the Towns of Cambridge and Vincent in the north, the Swan River in the east and south and the City of Subiaco in the west. 

The City's boundaries are the Mitchell Freeway, Newcastle Street and the Graham Farmer Freeway in the north, the Swan River in the east and south and Winthrop Avenue, Kings Park, Thomas Street and Loftus Street in the west.

The City includes the suburbs of Crawley (part), East Perth (part), Northbridge, Perth (part) and West Perth (part). The City of Perth does not include Kings Park.

The City of Perth is a residential and commercial area. The City encompasses a total land area of nearly 9 square kilometres.

Perth is named after a city in Scotland.

The original inhabitants of the Perth area were the Nyungar Aboriginal people. European settlement dates from 1829 when the Swan River Colony was established by the British Government.

Population was minimal until the 1850s, with land used mainly for sheep grazing and wheat growing. 

Rapid growth took place from the 1880s into the early 1900s, aided by nearby gold discoveries, industrial development and the construction of railway lines. 

From the 1960s to the 1980s the population halved, as residents moved outwards and offices were constructed. 

This trend began to be reversed from the early 1990s, with the number of dwellings doubling between 1991 and 2001, as many former industrial areas were redeveloped into residential areas. 

The population of the City increased significantly during the 1990s, from about 8,200 in 1991 to over 11,000 in 2001. 

The population increased at an even greater rate from 2001, rising to nearly 16,000 in 2006. Much of this growth is due to gentrification and the construction of high density housing. 

Population growth is expected to continue.
