New South Wales, Canada

New South Wales, Canada

New South Wales is an historical name for the region of Canada west and south of Hudson Bay. It was named and mapped by Thomas Button in 1613. The name "New South Wales" appeared, along with its counterpart New North Wales, in Emanuel Bowen's Complete System of Geography of 1747.

Maps of the era (such as that of Samuel Dunn in 1778) show it extending along the Ontario coast of Hudson Bay from Hannah Bay and into Manitoba as far as the mouth of the Nelson River.
