How Melbourne got its name

Melbourne was named in 1837 after the British Prime Minister William Lamb the 2nd Viscount Melbourne who resided in the village named Melbourne in Derbyshire. He was also the Prime Minister of England at the time of Queen Victorias coronation, so therefore it just might stand to reason that's how Melbourne, Victoria got it's name.

The founder of MelbourneMelbourne was founded on 30 August 1835 by the settlers who sailed from Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) on board the schooner Enterprize. They landed on the north bank of the Yarra River, close to where Customs House stands today and the place now known as Enterprize Park.

The Melbourne Day Committee was established to help correct the record about the founding of Melbourne.

Melburnian of the yearThe Collingwood Football Club, nicknamed The Magpies, is an Australian rules football club which plays in the Australian Football League (AFL). Formed in 1892, the club traditionally represented the inner-Melbourne suburb of Collingwood; however it has now moved its training and administration base to Gosch's Paddock and the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre, at Olympic Park in Melbourne. In 2000, Collingwood moved its home games from its traditional suburban home ground, Victoria Park, to the much larger Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Collingwood is the most supported club in the AFL and one of the most supported clubs in any sport in Australia.[2][3] It has consistently attracted much higher than average crowds to its home games than other clubs in the league.[4][5] In 1970, 121,696 spectators watched Collingwood and Carlton contest the Grand Final, the record attendance for a football game of any code in Australia. Collingwood currently have the most members of any club in the AFL, with 71,516 as of July 2011.[6] The total home crowd for Collingwood in 2010 was 695,816 at an average of 63,256.[7]

Collingwood's home guernsey consists of black and white stripes, matching the colours of an Australian magpie.

Throughout its history, the club has developed a number of rivalries with cross-town and interstate clubs. Traditional Melbourne suburban rivalries with Essendon,[8] Richmond and Carlton[9] remain fierce. Collingwood has gained interstate rivals, particularly Port Adelaide and Brisbane, but has retained the reputation in the national competition as the "team everybody loves to hate".[10]

Collingwood have played in a record 43 grand finals, winning 15, drawing two and losing 26
