Original, Antique 1839   Smith Map  Oceanica  Australia(New Holland), New Zealand, Polynesia & Malaysia New Holland The name New Holland was first applied to western and north coast of Australia in 1644 by the Dutch seafarer Abel Tasman, best known for his discovery of Tasmania (called by him Van Diemen's Land as shown on the map). Except for giving its name to the land, neither the Netherlands nor the Dutch East India Company claimed any territory in Australia as its own.  On 22 August 1770, after sailing north along Australia's east coast, James Cook claimed the entire "Eastern coast of New Holland" that he had just explored as British territory. Cook first named the land New Wales, but revised it to New South Wales. Even as late as 1837, in official correspondence between the British government in London and New South Wales, the term "New Holland" was still being used to refer to the continent as a whole.
