Adelaide’s vibrant migration history
Adelaide's migration history is marked by various waves of settlement and diversity. The region was initially home to Indigenous peoples for thousands of years before European settlement began in 1836. The city was founded as a planned British colony, attracting a mix of free settlers, convicts, and migrants seeking new opportunities. During the gold rush era in the mid-19th century, Adelaide experienced an influx of migrants from around the world, and post-war migration welcomed waves of immigrants from Europe and Asia, enriching the city's cultural landscape.
Today, Adelaide continues to welcome Australian migrants, with a diverse population that contributes to its vibrant and inclusive society.
