The Henty brothers were a family of seven brothers, sons of Thomas Henty,[1] who are generally considered to be the first Europeans to establish a permanent agricultural settlement in Victoria, Australia.[2] The brothers were:

  • Henry Henty (9 May 1833 – 1912) took over his father's company, inherited uncle Francis's fortune
  • Herbert James Henty (October 1834 – 1902) squandered the family fortune in his brother's absence[3]
