When was the first permanent British settlement established in Tasmania?

The first permanent British settlement in Tasmania was established by John Bowen, who founded a camp at Risdon Cove on the River Derwent in September 1803.12

Following the arrival of Lieutenant Governor David Collins in February 1804, the settlement was relocated to Hobart. Later that year, in November 1804, William Paterson established a second settlement in northern Tasmania, which eventually developed into Launceston.12
