The grid of this city was laid out by Robert Hoddle, and a wildfire scorched this city's lands on Black Thursday. The ownership of this city's territory was disputed by an organization led by John Wedge and the captain of the Enterprize. The treaty which allegedly bought the territory of this city from six elders of the Kulin people was quickly nullified by a governor's proclamation. This city was settled by John Pascoe Fawkner and the Port Phillip Association on the banks of the (*) Yarra River and was named by Richard Bourke in 1837, sadly depriving this city of the name Batmania after the man whose namesake treaty established it. For 10 points, name this city named for a British prime minister, the capital of the state of Victoria in Australia.
