East Polynesians were the earliest known residents of Norfolk Island, but they had already left when Great Britain established it as part of its 1788 invasion of Australia. Except for an 11-year period between 15 February 1814 and 6 June 1825, when it was abandoned, the island functioned as a prisoner penal colony from 6 March 1788 until 5 May 1855. When descendants of the Bounty mutineers were evacuated from Pitcairn Island on June 8, 1856, permanent civilian habitation on the island started. Norfolk Island was given up to Australia as an overseas territory by the United Kingdom in 1914.
The evergreen Norfolk Island pine, which is native to the island, is a symbol of the island and is shown on its flag. The pine is an important export for Norfolk Island since it is a popular decorative tree in Australia (where two related species thrive) and across the globe.
