The written history of Brisbane begins in 1799, when Matthew Flinders undertook the first recorded European exploration of Moreton Bay. European settlement began in September 1824 with the establishment of a British penal outpost at Redcliffe, which was relocated in May 1825 to the banks of the Brisbane River, establishing the site of the modern city.
