When was Canberra chosen to be the Capital?

The Limestone Plains area (Canberra-Yass) had been settled from as early as the 1820s, but there was no city in the region Because Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, had been rivals since before the goldrush days, it was decided that the nation's capital should be situated between the two cities. The Limestone Plains area was chosen, which was 248km from Sydney and 483km from Melbourne. This was shortly after Federation in 1901 On 1 January 1911, the Federal Capital Territory was established as an area of 2 360 square kilometres in the Yass-Canberra district.

The first survey peg marking the beginning of the development of the city of Canberra was driven in on 20 February 1913. On 12 March 1913, Lady Denman, wife of the Governor-General, then announced the name of the city as Canberra, believed to be a derivation of an Aboriginal word for 'meeting place.
