Why Queensland is all about the "Queen" Queensland wasn't even its own colony during those early days; it was just the northern "Moreton Bay District" of New South Wales. By the time it broke away to become a separate colony in 1859, the British monarchy looked very different. Queen Victoria was on the throne, having started her massive 63-year reign in 1837. When the settlers in the north wanted to separate from NSW, they originally suggested naming their new colony "Cooksland" after Captain James Cook. However, Queen Victoria intervened and made it clear she wanted it named after herself. Thus, Queensland was born in 1859. [/QUOTE]
