Arnhem country is an area of 97,000 km² with only 16,230 inhabitants, in the north of the Northern Territory, Australia. The area got its name from Matthew Flinders, who named it after the Dutch ship De Arnhem, which explored the coast in 1623. The ship was in turn named after the Dutch city Arnhem. The area has been an Aboriginal reserve since 1931, requiring special permission to visit the area. The Yolgnu, an indigenous tribe of Australia, live in this reserve.
The area is governed by the Northern Land Council on behalf of the Aborigines, but was governed from the capital until the mid-1950s Darwin.
