The settlement history of Salzburg dates back to the oldest Neolithic period. The oldest name of the city comes from the Celts: Iuvavum. Under the Romans, Iuvavum was an administrative district within the province of Noricum or Noricum Ripense. Since the conquest of the land by the Bavarians in the 6th century, the area of the later province of Salzburg belonged to the Duchy of the Bavarians. By founding or renewing the Abbey of St. Peter in 696 and founding the convent on the Nonnberg in 713 on the ruins of the Roman Iuvavum, St. Rupert created the basis for a diocese (739), which became the Archbishopric of Salzburg in 798 and thus the centre of the Bavarian ecclesiastical province. This encompassed almost the entire old Bavarian region. The neighbouring Rupertiwinkel is also named after this saint. In 1850, by decision of Emperor Franz Joseph I, Salzburg became its own Austrian crown land, which from 1861, on the basis of the constitution known as the February Patent, had its own provincial parliament as the legislative body and a provincial committee as the executive body, a preliminary form of the later provincial government (the name provincial government was then used to refer to the governor's office). The province now also elected mandataries to the House of Representatives of the Imperial Council.
