The arrival of Aboriginal people in 49,000 years ago was confirmed by the discovery of artefacts and fossils 2016 at Warratyi, in the ranges. These finds place the arrival of Aboriginal people much earlier than had previously been thought.
The first European contact in the region came in the year 1624, with Dutch explorer François Thijssen coming across Australia’s southern shore after straying off course on his route to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies. He made it as far as Nuyts Archipelago, just north of the , before eventually heading back. Despite this early contact, more prolonged European contact would not come about until 1836, a full 212 years later. Building on Matthew ‘ legacy, namely the mapping and circumnavigation of the n Continent, the colonization of South began, with the passage of the South Act in British Parliament in the year 1834. Unlike other n colonies, such as those in New South Wales, and Van Diemen’s Land (), the South Act specifically forbade the transportation of convicts and use of convict labour in establishing the colony, instead touting the colony as one embodying humanist values, and promoting political, religious, and economic freedoms.

Following a tumultuous few decades, characterized by land speculation, bankruptcy, and a labour shortage caused by gold rushes in other states, South eventually became a self governing colony in the year 1856. The new state had its own constitution, one that was for the time, very progressive, guaranteeing the male right to vote, as well as suffrage for propertied women.
South grew economically in the ensuing years, developing thriving industries in wool, wheat, copper and wine, with immigrants coming from across Europe, particularly Germany, bringing with them their skills and expertise. South joined with the rest of the Commonwealth of in 1901, when the country officially became a Federation, and from then continued to grow, with its mining sector, in particular, thriving with discoveries of gold, silver, and uranium. Though South has grown at a slower rate than most other n states, it remains a progressive and forward thinking state, historically adopting social justice legislation years before other states, as well as currently being ‘s leader in renewable energy.
