[[Major-general (United Kingdom)|Major General]] '''Lachlan Macquarie''', [[Companion of the Order of the Bath|CB]] ({{IPAc-en|m|ə|ˈ|k|w|ɒr|ɪ}}; {{lang-gd|Lachlann MacGuaire}}; 31 January 1762 – 1 July 1824){{sfn|McLachlan|1967}} was a [[British Army]] officer and colonial administrator from [[Scotland]]. Macquarie served as the fifth [[Governor of New South Wales]] from 1810 to 1821,{{Sfn|Davison|Hirst|MacIntyre|1998|p=405}} and had a leading role in the social, economic, and architectural development of the colony. He is considered by historians to have had a crucial influence on the transition of [[New South Wales]] from a [[penal colony]] to a free settlement and therefore to have played a major role in the shaping of
Macquarie played a central role in [[urban planning]] in the colony. He had a significant impact on the development of modern [[Sydney]], establishing the layout upon which the modern [[Sydney central business district|city centre]] is based, establishing [[Hyde Park, Sydney|Hyde Park]] as Australia's first public park, overseeing the construction of various public buildings along [[Macquarie Street, Sydney|Macquarie Street]], and devising the layouts of a number of settlements which today are part of [[Greater Western Sydney|Western Sydney]]. He also ordered the designing of a street layout for [[Hobart]]. A supporter of exploration, Macquarie authorised the [[1813 crossing of the Blue Mountains|1813 expedition]] across the [[Blue Mountains (New South Wales)|Blue Mountains]], the first successful British traversal of the region. He ordered the establishment of [[Bathurst, New South Wales|Bathurst]], the first inland British settlement in Australia.
While seeking to promote morality and orderliness, Macquarie favoured the liberal treatment of ex-convicts, known as [[emancipist]]s, appointing them to prominent government positions and providing generous land grants.
Despite expressing a desire for Aboriginal peoples to be treated kindly, in 1816 he gave orders that led to the [[Appin, New South Wales#The Appin Massacre|Appin Massacre]] of [[Gandangara people|Gundungurra]] and [[Tharawal people|Dharawal]] people during the [[Hawkesbury and Nepean Wars]].{{sfn|Marlow|2016}}{{sfn|Kohen|1993|p=}}{{sfn|Kass|2005}}

==British Army==
===North America===
Macquarie volunteered to join the [[British Army]] in 1776 and was assigned to the [[84th Regiment of Foot (Royal Highland Emigrants)|84th Regiment of Foot]]. Later that year he travelled with it to North America to fight against the revolutionaries in the [[American Revolutionary War|American War of Independence]]. On the way to America he participated in the Battle of the Newcastle Jane, the first naval victory for a British merchant ship over an American [[privateer]]. Macquarie was initially stationed at [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]] and obtained the junior rank of [[ensign (rank)|ensign]] on 9 April 1777. On 18 January 1781, he was promoted to lieutenant and transferred to the [[71st (Highland) Regiment of Foot]], and served with them in New York City and [[Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]]. Macquarie
===India===
In June 1784 Macquarie returned to Scotland, where he managed the Lochbuie estates of his uncle, Captain Murdoch Maclaine.{{Sfn|Ellis|1952|p=4}} Through the influence of Maclaine, he was offered a lieutenancy in the 77th (Hindoostan) Regiment of Foot, a British Army unit, which he took up on Christmas Day 1787. The cost of this regiment was met by the East India company because it was raised specifically for service in India.<ref>Woollright, Henry Herriot (1907). Records of the Seventy-Seventh (East Middlesex) The Duke of Cambridge's Own Regiment of Foot now the Second Battalion The Duke of Cambridge's Own (Middlesex Regiment). Aldershot: Gale & Polden.</ref>
Macquarie arrived with his regiment at [[Bombay Presidency|Bombay]] in August 1788 where he was stationed for two years. He saw active service from 1790 to 1792 during the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]], under General Abercromby, participating in the [[Capture of Cannanore]] and the [[Siege of Seringapatam (1792)|1792 Siege of Seringapatam]].<ref name="lema">{{cite web |title=Lachlan and Elizabeth Macquarie Archive |url=https://www.mq.edu.au/macquarie-archive/lema/index.html |website=LEMA |publisher=Macquarie University |access-date=22 January 2022}}</ref> He was promoted to Major of Brigade of troops on the [[Malabar Coast]] in August 1793<ref name="turbet">{{cite book |last1=Turbet |first1=Peter |title=The First Frontier |date=2011 |publisher=Rosenberg |location=Dural}}</ref> and became a [[Freemason]] that same year at Bombay.<ref>[http://www.freemasonrysaust.org.au/historyearly.html Freemasonry Australia] {{webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20060821201111/http://www.freemasonrysaust.org.au/historyearly.html |date=21 August 2006 }}</ref> In September 1793 Macquarie married Jane Jarvis, daughter of the late [[Chief Justice of the Leeward Islands#Antigua|Chief Justice of Antigua]], Thomas Jarvis, who had owned [[Sugar plantations in the Caribbean|slave plantations there]].{{sfn|Fernandes|2018|p=15}} According to their marriage settlement, Miss Jarvis was worth £6,000
In May 1797, Macquarie led troops during the campaign against the rebel forces of [[Pazhassi Raja]] in the jungles around [[Manantheri]]. Employing guerilla tactics, Pazhassi inflicted sizable casualties on the 77th, killing a number of officers with Macquarie himself being wounded in the foot. The British torched all the villages in the district but conceded defeat with the East India Company forced into a peace treaty with Pazhassi. Macquarie resigned from his commanding role soon after the campaign.<ref name="lema" />

===Social reforms===
Macquarie was given specific instructions to encourage morality and orderliness in the colony. He promoted marriage and church attendance, increased police patrols and made laws against public alcohol consumption. Central to this policy were the [[emancipist]]s: convicts whose sentences had expired or who had been given conditional or absolute pardons. Macquarie wanted the ex-convicts to live reformed, law-abiding Christian lives.{{Sfn|Molony|1987|p=41}} Initially he favoured Anglicanism only<ref>{{cite book |date=1917 |title=Historical Records of Australia. Series I vol. 9 |pages=801 |chapter=Macquarie to Lord Bathurst, 18 May 1818 |isbn=}}</ref> but in 1820 cautiously welcomed officially-approved Catholic priests.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Sternbeck |first=Michael |date=2022 |title=For a godly purpose: planning Saint
Some of these emancipated convicts were either skilled professionals or had become very wealthy by operating commercial enterprises in the colony. Macquarie viewed these types of ex-convicts as ideal models of social transformation, and rewarded them by elevating their social standing and appointing them to important government positions. For example, [[Francis Greenway]] became colonial architect, Dr [[William Redfern]] became the colonial surgeon, while [[Andrew Thompson (convict, magistrate)|Andrew Thompson]] and [[Simeon Lord]] were appointed as magistrates.{{Sfn|Ellis|1952|p=228}}{{Sfn|Hughes|1986|p=151}}{{Sfn|Ward|1975|p=37}}

On 17 April, the detachment of 33 [[grenadier]]s led by Captain [[James Wallis (British Army officer)|James Wallis]] managed to corner a large group of [[Gandangara people|Gandangara]] and [[Tharawal people]] near the [[Cataract River (Wollondilly)|Cataract River gorge]] in the upper Nepean catchment. At least 14 men, women and children were killed, some shot while others fell off the cliffs. This became known as the [[Appin Massacre]]. The corpses of two men, [[Cannabaygal]] and Dunnell, were strung up on trees as per Macquarie's instructions, the skull of Cannabaygal later being taken to [[Scotland]]. Two surviving women and three children were taken prisoner and Macquarie rewarded Wallis for his efforts by appointing him Commandant of the [[Newcastle, New South Wales|Newcastle]] convict settlement.{{sfn|Marlow|2016}}{{sfn|Kohen|1993}}{{sfn|Kass|2005}}<ref>{{cite web|last=Fowler|first=Verlie|title=Massacre at Appin 1816|url=http://www.cahs.com.au/massacre-at-appin-1816.html|work=Cambelltown Stories|publisher=Campbelltown & Airds Historical Society Inc.|access-date=18 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318110443/http://www.cahs.com.au/massacre-at-appin-1816.html|archive-date=18 March 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="turbet" />
Hostilities continued for most of the rest of 1816 with Macquarie proclaiming no Aborigines were allowed into the settled areas without a passport and issuing search and destroy orders for a further 10 Aboriginal men. By early 1817, these actions by Macquarie forced an end to Aboriginal resistance in what is now known as the [[Hawkesbury and Nepean Wars]].<ref name="turbet" />

Bigge's reports subsequently depicted Macquarie as having an error of conduct in making New South Wales a place for the convicts to reform back into society rather than a place of punishment, and stated that his policies of remediation toward the emancipated were not only 'inexpedient and dangerous' but were 'an act of violence' to the established colonists.<ref name="state of colony" /><ref name="judicial">{{cite book |last1=Bigge |first1=John Thomas |title=Report of the Commissioner of Inquiry on the Judicial Establishments of New South Wales |date=1823 |url=https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks13/1300251h.html}}</ref>
Macquarie offered his resignation several times, which was accepted in 1820 with [[Thomas Brisbane]] replacing him as governor in 1821.{{sfn|McLachlan|1967}} Macquarie served longer than any other governor but not long after, in 1824, the overall power within the role was reduced by the introduction of the [[New South Wales Legislative Council]], Australia's first legislative body, appointed to advise the governor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/about/historyofdemocracy/Pages/History-of-democracy-in-NSW.aspx|title=History of Democracy in NSW|website=parliament.nsw.gov.au|publisher=Parliament of NSW|access-date=14 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160615084356/https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/about/historyofdemocracy/pages/history-of-democracy-in-nsw.aspx|archive-date=15 June 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
==Return to Scotland, death and legacy==
[[File:Macquarie Mausoleum, Gruline (geograph 4532349).jpg|thumb|Macquarie Mausoleum on the [[Isle of Mull]] in western Scotland
Macquarie returned to Scotland, and died in London in 1824 while busy defending himself against Bigge's charges. However, his reputation continued to grow after his death, especially among the emancipists and their descendants, who were the majority of the Australian population until the [[Australian gold rushes]]. Today he is regarded by many as the most enlightened and progressive of the early governors who sought to establish Australia as a country, rather than as a prison camp.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Governor|url=http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/events/exhibitions/2010/governor/governor.html|work=The Governor – Lachlan Macquarie|publisher=State Library of NSW|access-date=14 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012190046/http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/events/exhibitions/2010/governor/governor.html|archive-date=12 October 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The nationalist school of Australian historians have treated him as a proto-nationalist hero. Macquarie formally adopted the name Australia for the continent, the name earlier proposed by the first circumnavigator of Australia, [[Matthew Flinders]]. The origin of the name "Australia" is closely associated with Macquarie who first used it in an official despatch in 1817.{{Sfn|Ellis|1952|p=431}} As well as the many geographical features named after him, many institutions in Australia such as [[Macquarie University]] in Sydney are also named in his honour. Macquarie was promoted to [[Colonel (United Kingdom)|
Macquarie was buried on the [[Isle of Mull]] in a mausoleum near Salen with his wife, daughter and son. The grave is maintained by the [[National Trust of Australia]] and is inscribed "The Father of Australia".{{Sfn|Davison|Hirst|MacIntyre|1998|p=406}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mq.edu.au/about/about-the-university/the-macquarie-story/history/macquaries-influence|title=Macquarie's Influence|publisher=Macquarie University|access-date=24 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170824074115/http://www.mq.edu.au/about/about-the-university/the-macquarie-story/history/macquaries-influence|archive-date=24 August 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
