The city of Sydney was founded in the year 1788 and by the year 1840 the city had a population of 50,000.

Around the year 1850, there was an increase in population by about 10% in an annual basis. The second part of the 19th century faced a more varied growth rate. In the middle of 1850, the people were more attracted towards the gold fields of Australia and hence the increase in population was not much.

The increase in population in the 20th century was mainly affected by economic and political factors. The country was affected by the World War II and took measures to attract the workers from other countries to come to Australia to develop the country economically. The birth rates had decreased in the later half of the 20th century and thus immigration was a necessary aspect of this country.
