Concerning Ancient Israel
We do not know the exact year that King David conquered the city from the Jebusites, but it would have been around 1000 B.C.E.
Concerning Modern Israel
In 1949, after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-1949, West Jerusalem was firmly in Israeli control. It was at this point that Israel declared Jerusalem to be its capital. Since it only controlled the West, it was de facto understood not to include East Jerusalem under Jordanian control.
In 1967, when Israel acquired the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Israeli capital began to become both West and East Jerusalem, although most government offices remain in West Jerusalem. In 1980, Israel officially annexed East Jerusalem to the Municipality of Jerusalem which created one unified capital de jure in Israel. The International Community condemned this act.
