John Batman
John Batman is an Australian breeder, entrepreneur and adventurer best known for founding Melbourne. Born and raised in the British colony of New South Wales, Batman settled in Van Diemen's Land in the 1820s, where he was famous for hunting bandits and participating in the Black War. He then co-founded the Port Phillip Association and led an expedition to explore Port Phillip on mainland Australia with the goal of establishing a new colony. In 1835, Batman negotiated a pact with the natives to provide them with tools, blankets and food in exchange for thousands of acres of land. The treaty led to the creation of Batmania, a settlement on the Yarra River that became Melbourne, Victoria's last capital and one of Australia's largest and most important cities. Batman settled there with his doomed wife, Elizabeth Callaghan, and their seven daughters, settled in what is today known as Batman's Hill.
