In 1642, less than 400 years ago at the time of writing, the island was named Van Diemen's Land by a Dutch sailor. The European name for Lutruwita was used until 1855 when the colony changed its name to Tasmania following formal British settlement in 1803. Another key milestone was the separation of the Van Diemen's Land from the Colony of New South Wales in 1825.
