About Victoria
Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire from 1837 to 1901. Her reign, the Victorian era, represented the Empire at its peak. Many places worldwide bear her name, from Africa's largest lake to a state in Australia and the capitals of British Columbia, Seychelles and Hong Kong. There is more than one place called Victoria and not all are named after Queen Victoria either:
