The city was founded by Captain James Stirling in 1829 as the administrative center of the Swan River Colony.

It serves as a major hub for the mining, petroleum, and agricultural industries that drive the economy of Western Australia.

Western Australia is Australia's largest state by area, covering approximately one-third of the entire continent.
