Clarence, Tasmania : ウィキペディア英語版
City of Clarence

The City of Clarence is a city and local government area in Tasmania, Australia. Along with Hobart and Glenorchy, Clarence is one of the three cities that constitute the Greater Hobart Area.
The City of Clarence is located between the eastern shore of the Derwent River to the west, Pitt Water and the Coal River valley to the east, the Meehan Range to the north, and Storm Bay to the south. Being on the eastern shore of the Derwent River, it is located opposite to Hobart and Glenorchy, both of which are located on the western shore. Despite only being the 29th largest city in Australia in terms of population (52,935), it is the 9th largest city in Australia in terms of area (386 km² or 149.0 sq mi). Despite this, more than one third of the city remains untouched bushland. The administrative centre of Clarence at Rosny Park is approximately 5 kilometres from the CBD of Hobart.
The City of Clarence is administered by the Clarence City Council, and is home to both the Hobart International Airport and Bellerive Oval. Rosny Park is the main commercial district in the east of Greater Hobart (featuring Eastlands Shopping Centre) and also the administrative centre of the City of Clarence.
The area that now constitutes the City of Clarence was once part of the traditional land of the Moomairemener, a sub-group of the Tasmanian Aborigines.〔The Aboriginal Tasmanians. By Lyndall Ryan. Sydney, NSW (1996) (Ed. )〕 In 1803, the island of Tasmania (then Van Diemen's Land) was colonised by United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, who subsequently established the settlement of Hobart Town.〔History of Tasmania. John West. Launceston, Tasmania (1854) (vols ) (see: Vol. 1, pp.27)〕 By the 1820s the settlement had spread to the 'Clarence Plains', but the area remained primarily agricultural until the mid to late 20th century, when it experienced a residential development boom. Since then Clarence has grown rapidly to become a self-sufficient city.〔The Eastern Shore - A History of Clarence. Published by the Clarence City Council. Clarence, Tasmania. (2003)〕
==Etymology==

The City of Clarence is named indirectly after King William IV of the United Kingdom. From 1789 until 1830, when he ascended the throne, he was titled ''His Royal Highness'' The Duke of Clarence and St Andrews. It was during this period that the British settlement of Hobart was founded in 1803.〔
Prior to the establishment of the British colony there, Captain John Hayes of the East India Company had sailed up the Derwent River, with the vessels ''Duke of Clarence'' and the ''Duchess of Bengal'' in 1793. Relieved at making landfall following an arduous crossing of the Indian Ocean, Hayes named the region around Rokeby as 'Clarence Plains', in honour of the vessel having delivered them safely to a sanctuary. The vessel in turn, had been initially named in honour of the then future King. Almost immediately following the exploration of the region following the settlement of Hobart in 1803, Hayes name of 'Clarence Plains' fell into common use.〔'The Eastern Shore - A History of Clarence' By Alison Alexander (2003)〕
For over half a century, this was the name of the entire eastern shore of the Derwent River south of the Meehan Range. When it was first incorporated as a municipality in 1860, the region became referred to as the 'Clarence Municipality'.〔(26 Nov 1860 - CLARENCE MUNICIPALITY ). Trove.nla.gov.au. Retrieved on 2013-07-16.〕 This was to remain the name of the region until 1988, when Clarence was officially declared a city, and the name changed to the 'City of Clarence'.〔 It is not usual for Clarence residents to be referred to by a gentilic, and if so they are usually given the title ''Hobartians'' along with all other residents of Greater Hobart, however locally they are usually identified as being 'from the eastern shore'.〔()〕
