Yes - it became independent of the mother city in about 650 BCE.
As historical records for the time are rare and otherwise difficult to interpret, a precise year for the founding of Carthage by Phoenician colonists is difficult to determine. A likely period for its founding, however, is during the late 9th century BC (or, BCE), for it is during this period that the Phoenician cities of Tyre and Sidon were active in establishing colonies beyond the Eastern Mediterranean Basin.

Carthage was a colony of the Phoenicians, a people who leaved in present day Lebanon and were one of the major treading people in the Mediterranean and had one of the great fleets in this sea. It was said to have been founded by queen Elissa (Dido in Greek) of Tyre, the most important Phoenician city. She was the daughter of Matten, the king of the city and she inherited the throne together with her brother Pygmalion. But the people wanted Pygmalion alone though he was a boy. Elissa married Acerbas, a high priest and the second most powerful man in the city. Pygmalion had Acerbas murdered. Elissa decides to flee from Tyre. She and her party arrived in Cyprus and then moved on to modern Tunisia and asked the local Berber king for permission to have a temporary refuge there. Many Local Berbers joined the settlement and the nearby Phoenician colony of Utica asked Elissa to found a city.
